Charleroi Area Middle School

Charleroi Area Middle School serves a working-class river town in Washington County, about 25 miles south of Pittsburgh along the Monongahela River — a community with deep roots in the steel era that's still finding its footing in the modern economy. Academics here are a work in progress, with math in particular lagging behind state norms, making it a school better suited for families who are engaged and proactive about supplementing their child's education. For families already rooted in Charleroi who value tight-knit community connections over top-tier test scores, this can still be a place where kids find belonging and local identity.
