School Overview

Tucked into the rolling hills south of Pittsburgh, Thomas Jefferson High School is one of the stronger public high schools in the greater Allegheny County area, with particularly standout English scores that rank near the very top of the state. Jefferson Hills itself has that comfortable South Hills suburban feel — quiet neighborhoods, easy access to Pittsburgh, and a community that tends to take its schools seriously. Families who prioritize strong academics without the intensity of the city's most competitive private school scene will find a lot to like here.
