Report: Pittsburgh Public Schools Achievement Lowest in Area from the New Pittsburgh Courier
"Six months ago, the New Pittsburgh Courier reported that the Pittsburgh Public School District spends more per student than area charter schools and neighboring suburban schools. Conversely, among these same seven charter schools and five suburban districts, PPS has the lowest achievement, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Education Achievement Report 2010-2011. “That’s not shocking. The reality of it is, a lot of these different schools have way more resources,” said Alichia Parker, president and CEO of A PAR Educational LLC, a company that offers education consulting services and private tutoring."
