PITTSBURGH — For the third time in a row, Upper St. Clair School District is No. 1 on the Business Times’ Honor Roll ranking of top regional school districts, part of the 2022 Guide to Southwestern Pennsylvania Schools.

The ranking looks at three years of state standardized test scores and ranks the 105 regional school districts from highest-scoring to lowest-scoring based on a proprietary formula.

There was no annual ranking in 2021, due to the fact that testing was suspended in 2020 due to the pandemic. Testing resumed in spring 2021 and data from 2021, 2019 and 2018 is included in this year’s formula. One exclusion was the results of the Keystone Exams for high school proficiency. So many students opted out of those tests and many districts did not have complete results for students, so the Keystone 2021 results were excluded (Keystone results for 2019 and 2018 are still included).
