Marion Elementary School

Belle Vernon is a small river town along the Monongahela, about 30 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, where community ties run deep and families tend to put down roots. Marion Elementary sits in the middle of that working-class, close-knit culture, and while its academic scores are around the middle of the pack statewide, its science performance stands out as a relative strength worth noting. Families looking for a tight community feel in a quiet southwestern Pennsylvania setting, rather than the hustle of suburban sprawl, will find a school that reflects the character of the town around it.
