School Overview

Plum Senior High School sits in one of Pittsburgh's quieter eastern suburbs, where ranch homes and wooded lots give the borough a settled, unpretentious feel that's very different from the bustle closer to the city. The school lands solidly in the middle of Pennsylvania's rankings, with science scores that stand out as a genuine bright spot — a good sign for families with kids who lean toward STEM. It's a solid pick for families who want a traditional suburban public school experience with easy access to everything the Pittsburgh metro has to offer.
