School Overview

Dickson Prep STEAM Academy sits in Swissvale, a small borough tucked between Pittsburgh's eastern neighborhoods where the Monongahela and Turtle Creek valleys meet — a working-class community with a tight-knit feel and easy access to the broader Pittsburgh area. Despite its STEAM-focused name and mission, the school faces some real academic challenges, with scores placing it in the lower range across English, math, and science. Families who are drawn here may be looking for a school with a specific career-connected vision and are willing to invest in advocacy and engagement to help the program grow into its potential.
