West Hills Intermediate School

Nestled in the rolling hills of Armstrong County, West Hills Intermediate serves a tight-knit rural community where school spirit and local roots run deep. Families who value a smaller, close-to-home school experience — where kids aren't just a face in the crowd — tend to find a good fit here, with science and math scores showing some relative strengths. Kittanning itself is a quiet river town along the Allegheny, offering an unhurried pace of life that appeals to families looking to raise kids away from the bustle of Pittsburgh, just about an hour to the south.
