Pittsburg School Growth Surges as Allegheny Lags Behind
The Pittsburg school system shows a major expansion with September reports indicating an increase of 1,100 pupils year over year and 25 additional teachers this year, while Allegheny faces pupil losses. New schools are being built in crowded wards such as Sixteenth and Thirteenth, with large projects planned in the Nineteenth and Shakespeare School areas. Chief Bigelow urges Allegheny to pursue residential appeal to catch up, warning of continued decline if not pursued.
