Pittsburgh Banksville offers a structured learning environment, an enhanced research-based curriculum, and the strategic implementation of best practices to meet the varying needs of every learner.
Pittsburgh Banksville PreK-5 partners with Focus on Results, an educational reform model which brings together elements of a sound education and organized, high-performance school. Through Focus on Results the school has developed a school wide focus and best practices to support students in meeting grade level, school wide and state measures. Both individual and group progress is measured throughout the year in order to ensure students are secure in their skills. In addition, highly qualified staff members specialize in specific content areas to enhance student learning. A school wide behavior management system offers incentives to individual students and classes. A daily morning assembly introduces, models, and reinforces school wide rituals and routines to develop and enhance the positive learning community.
More information about school programs, procedures and expectations is available in the School Handbook.
