School Overview

Kiski Area Upper Elementary sits in Apollo, a small river town along the Kiskiminetas in Westmoreland County — the kind of place where Friday night sports and community events still bring everyone together. The school shows real strength in English while math scores leave some room to grow, making it a decent fit for families who value a tight-knit, small-town environment and don't mind supplementing at home. For families drawn to rural western Pennsylvania living with easy access to the broader Pittsburgh region, this school reflects the grounded, community-first character of the area.
