ABOUT OUR SCHOOL
-
Pittsburgh Mifflin PreK-8 is a neighborhood school located in the Lincoln Place community of Pittsburgh. Children from Pittsburgh's 31st Ward (Lincoln Place, Gates Manor, Hays, New Homestead and Hazelwood neighborhoods) make up the student body. Mifflin teachers utilize the district-adopted curriculums in all academic areas. Our strong academic focus is complimented with related arts classes in music, art, physical education and computer-based programming to support reading, writing and math initiatives. Mifflin is the proud recipient of a school performance profile of 71.2% score. This score is meeting the standard that the State expects for schools in Pennsylvania. In addition to our strong academic focus, Mifflin staff is committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment where all children feel secure and motivated to achieve. Our goal is for a Mifflin student to leave us prepared for a 2 or 4-year college or workforce certification.
Mifflin PreK-8 implements a school-wide behavior program called Mifflin PRIDE. This program focuses on the core values of Promise-Ready, Integrity, Determination, and Effort (PRIDE). Students who exhibit these values through their actions are rewarded in a variety of ways.
Pittsburgh Mifflin offers many opportunities for student involvement outside of the regular classroom setting. We offer academic support, athletics, musical enrichment and social activities throughout the year. Athletic opportunities also occur at various grade levels. Intramural sports are offered after school for grades four and five. District sponsored interscholastic middle school sports are also available for eligible students. Mifflin offers instrumental music and chorus for students in grades three through eight. Student performances are held several times a year. Mifflin also has a Safety Patrol. Middle school students can also attend holiday dances, ski club trips and an overnight camp experience at the end of the school year. School sponsored field trips also occur throughout the school year at various grade levels.
