Chartiers Valley High School (Established in 1959) is a public school physically located in Collier Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, USA. The school's post-office address is Bridgeville, PA however.
The school district serves Collier Township, Bridgeville Borough, Scott Township and Heidelberg Borough.
A new high school and middle school complex is being constructed at the site. The new complex will retain its gymnasium, pool and auditorium.
The school has an olympic-sized indoor swimming pool which is open to the public three evenings a week. A small fee is charged to district residents and non residents.
The school's on-site stadium was home to the professional soccer team Pittsburgh Riverhounds (2008-2012).
The school district is named after Pierre Chartiers.
In 2010, the Pennsylvania Department of Education issued a new, 4 year cohort graduation rate. Chartiers Valley High School's rate was 96% for 2010.
According to traditional graduation rate calculations:
According to a Pennsylvania Department of Education study released in January 2009, 32% of Chartiers Valley School District graduates required remediation in mathematics and or reading before they were prepared to take college level courses in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education or community colleges. Neighboring high schools range from 17% (Upper St. Clair School District) to 53% (City of Pittsburgh School District). Less than 66% of Pennsylvania high school graduates, who enroll in a four-year college in Pennsylvania, will earn a bachelor's degree within six years. Among Pennsylvania high school graduates pursuing an associate degree, only one in three graduate in three years. Per the Pennsylvania Department of Education, one in three recent high school graduates who attend Pennsylvania's public universities and community colleges takes at least one remedial course in math, reading or English.
The high school offers a Dual Enrollment program. This state program permits high school students to take courses, at local higher education institutions, to earn college credits. Students remain enrolled at their high school. The courses count towards high school graduation requirements and towards earning a college degree. The students continue to have full access to activities and programs at their high school. The college credits are offered at a deeply discounted rate. The state offers a small grant to assist students in costs for tuition, fees and books. Under the Pennsylvania Transfer and Articulation Agreement, many Pennsylvania colleges and universities accept these credits for students who transfer to their institutions.
