Bethel Park is home of one of the top school districts in the state of Pennsylvania. Bethel Park is a suburb of Pittsburgh. Bethel Park School District is comprised of a total of eight schools. It has 5 elementary schools: Benjamin Franklin Elementary School, Abraham Lincoln Elementary School, George Washington Elementary School, William Penn Elementary School, and Memorial Elementary School. All 5 Elementary Schools host grades K-4, and children are assigned to different elementary schools based on where they live in the community. For example, if one lives in the south of Bethel Park, then the child will go to Benjamin Franklin; if one lives in the North of Bethel Park, then the child will go to Abraham Lincoln.
There are also 2 middle schools in the district: Neil Armstrong Middle School for grades 5-6, and Independence Middle School for grade 7-8. The high school, Bethel Park High School, is home to grades 9-12. After 4th grade, all children in Bethel Park go to the same School as the other children in their grade, regardless of where one lives in the community.
[edit] High School
The high school is one of few high schools in Pennsylvania that are comprised of more than 3 buildings. In fact, the high school was originally intended to be the campus for the community college of Allegheny County (CCAC) but, for some reason, it became the campus for Bethel Park's high school instead. The high school is made up of 8 buildings, with each building being specifically for a set of subjects.
- Building 1 - Science and Health. Also homerooms for freshmen.
- Building 2 - Social Studies, Business and Foreign Language. Also homerooms for sophomores.
