Welcome to Allegheny Valley School District

A partnership for excellence between youth, school, and community —
15 miles up the river from Pittsburgh.

A partnership for  excellence  — youth, school & community.

ABOUT US

Located just 15 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, the Allegheny Valley School District combines the resources of a major urban center with the heart of a close-knit, small-town atmosphere. Established in 1965, our district is dedicated to providing a high-quality, comprehensive education for students from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade. Through our two primary campuses—Acmetonia Elementary and Springdale Jr-Sr High School—we foster a collaborative environment where professional educators and the local community work together to ensure every student succeeds.
