KEYSTONE OAKS MIDDLE SCHOOL

Keystone Oaks MS is a Title I public middle school that is part of the Keystone Oaks SD school district, located in Pittsburgh, PA with about 449 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 34 teachers, Keystone Oaks MS has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.
