Charleroi Area Middle School

Do NOT let your child attend Charleroi Area Middle School / High School.  My child witnessed head-banging fights in the cafeteria, student being taken away by ambulance because of being knocked out abusively by another student during phsycial education class, and one child even had his mouth taped shut by a teacher.  Pay no attention to anything positive you might read about the school but take this information from a parent whose child has been through the system.  If your child has any potential whatsoever it will be wasted by him/her being placed in classes with discipline problems and lack of teacher knowledge/interest to handle it.  Remember that middle school is the beginning of high school - so ask the guidance counselor for the school's average SAT scores and a list of the colleges that the seniors attend.  If you want nothing better for your child than being competitive enough to only attend the local state college, W. and J., W. Va. Univ, small Pittsburgh colleges, community college, outlets for Univ of Pittsburgh and Penn State such as Greensburg, Fayette, then this is the school for your child!
