The school opened in 1927 and was named for industrialist and Squirrel Hill resident Taylor Allderdice, who was a member of the city's first school board and president of National Tube Company, a subsidiary of U.S. Steel Corporation.
Allderdice's feeder district includes all or parts of the Glen Hazel, Hays, Hazelwood, Homewood, Greenfield, Lincoln Place, New Homestead, Point Breeze, Regent Square, South Oakland, Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, and Swisshelm Park neighborhoods. Students from other Pittsburgh neighborhoods and the borough of Mount Oliver may also attend Allderdice through the pre-engineering magnet program; the Chinese magnet program, as Allderdice is the only district school to offer Chinese; or under the provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act.
