Understanding the 10/10 Rating
SchoolDistrictFinder rates Upper St. Clair School District 10 out of 10 — top-tier among Pennsylvania public school districts. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in Pennsylvania’s PSSA grades 3–8 ELA & Math assessments (2024–25 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score.
