About Bethel Park
The award-winning Bethel Park School District is a suburban school district, located 10 miles south of Pittsburgh, PA.
The District contains eight schools–five elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school. The elementary schools are organized by neighborhood. Total district enrollment is 4,237.
The district has a solid reputation for providing quality instruction and exposing students to a variety of academic subjects, enhanced by a strong technology program, that includes computers and Internet access in all classrooms. In 2015-2016 the District completed its One-to-One Technology Initiative that placed take-home Chromebooks in the hands of all Bethel Park students in grades 7-12, with one-to-one Chromebooks that remain in the classrooms for students in grades 2-6 and electronic devices on classroom carts for students in grades K-1.
