CARLYNTON SCHOOL DISTRICT

What CARLYNTON SCHOOL DISTRICT does

Carlynton School District is a Pennsylvania governmental entity that operates public K-12 education for the communities of Carnegie, Crafton, and Rosslyn Farms, located approximately six miles southwest of Pittsburgh. The district operates four educational institutions: Carnegie Elementary (414 students), Crafton Elementary (294 students), Carlynton Junior-Senior High School covering grades 7-12 (602 students), and the Carlynton Cyber Academy for online learning. Total enrollment stands at 1,310 students for the 2025-2026 academic year, supported by 124 teaching staff, 55 support staff, and 15 custodial and maintenance personnel, yielding a 12.9:1 student-to-teacher ratio.

The district's technology footprint is conventional for a small public school system: a Finalsite-powered district website, PowerSchool for student information, and BusPatrol stop-arm camera hardware on the transportation fleet. The Carlynton Cyber Academy represents the only non-traditional delivery channel, offering a virtual K-12 option to retain families who might otherwise choose external cyber charter schools.

Funding is sourced from Pennsylvania state aid, federal grants, and local property taxes (millage). The district has published a 2026-2027 Millage Increase Calculation Worksheet, indicating an upcoming tax adjustment. Governance is by an elected School Board, and the district operates under standard Pennsylvania public education regulations. A capital improvement project is underway at Carnegie Elementary to enhance learning spaces.
