The Wilkinsburg School District is a small, urban public school district serving the mostly African American Municipality of Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania. The district encompasses approximately 3sqmi. According to 2000 federal census data, it served a resident population of 19,196. By 2010, the district's population declined to 15,933 people.[1] The educational attainment levels for the Wilkinsburg Borough School District population (25 years old and over) were 90% high school graduates and 28.5% college graduates.[2] Wilkinsburg School District operates two schools, Kelly Primary School (pre-k to first grade) and Turner Intermediate School (2nd–6th grades).[3] Students beyond sixth grade go to nearby Westinghouse High School[4] [5] [6] in the adjacent Pittsburgh Public Schools district.
The Wilkinsburg High School building was constructed in 1910.[7] and its design has been credited to architect Thomas H. Scott.[8] In 1985, due to declining enrollment, grades 7-9 were transferred to Wilkinsburg High School.[9]
