Rankings for districts often consider a broader range of factors, such as:

  • Academic performance (test scores, graduation rates)
  • Student-teacher ratios
  • Financial resources and spending per student
  • Student and parent reviews
  • Safety and discipline
  • Extracurricular opportunities

The recognition of Upper St. Clair as the #1 school district highlights the overall quality of its educational system and the collective performance of its schools.
