School Overview

Pittsburgh Brashear High School serves the Beechview and Brookline neighborhoods on Pittsburgh's South Hills, a part of the city known for its tight-knit, working-class roots and strong sense of community pride. The school draws families who value a large, diverse urban high school experience, with a wide range of programs and extracurriculars that reflect the varied backgrounds of its student body. Families considering Brashear should be aware that academic test scores currently rank in the lower tier statewide, so those prioritizing academics may want to explore additional support resources or enrichment opportunities outside of school.
