Shaler Area’s primary schools continue to receive strong recognition through Niche’s school rankings, including standout recognition for Marzolf and Reserve and strong statewide rankings for Burchfield and Scott.

Marzolf Primary School and Reserve Primary School were recognized among the top Niche Standout Elementary Schools in the Pittsburgh Area, with Reserve ranked #2 and Marzolf ranked #3. Having two Shaler Area schools among the top three in the Pittsburgh region is a significant recognition of the work taking place in our classrooms and school communities.

The District’s other two primary schools also received strong marks from Niche. Burchfield Primary School earned an A- overall grade and is ranked #273 out of 1,612 public elementary schools in Pennsylvania, placing it approximately in the top 17% statewide.

Scott Primary School also earned an A- overall grade and is ranked #291 out of 1,612 public elementary schools in Pennsylvania, placing it approximately in the top 18% statewide. S

Taken together, these recognitions demonstrate the strength of elementary education across Shaler Area. From Marzolf and Reserve being recognized among the Pittsburgh region’s leading Standout Schools to Burchfield and Scott ranking within approximately the top 20% of public elementary schools statewide, each of our primary schools is receiving external recognition for the educational experiences being provided to students.

These results reflect the collective efforts of our teachers, support staff, administrators, students, and families and provide another indicator of the strong foundation being built for our youngest Titans.
