Theyre better by every single measurable and objective metric. Prove me wrong.

Acting like suburb schools are any better. That's loser mentality

You have such a loser mentality. Some people actually want to be successful in life worse than they want to be a victim.

With rampant racism and prejudice??? Greeaaatttt totallyyyy

I remember this making the rounds when I was in school. Apparently this kind of toxic behavior flourishes in Mt Lebanon to this day.

Yeah that’s gonna be the case in most neighborhoods, especially the suburbs. Only places that aren’t hilly are downtown and some maybe like Shadyside.

thank you, it’s so tiring hearing people only valuing hours and wages. there’s a lot more that goes into working with people in a restaurant. just trying to keep it real 🥴

Your English teachers corrupted you. Just look at that run-on sentence!!

Nice, me too.

Just so dang hilly! Most neighborhoods.

Corrupt was a strange word choice but op probably just means rotten or spoiled and not in the dishonest moral sense of the word. The op is stressed and hastily wrote this post with SAT vocab words in odd places so that is probably what they were taught to do in a college prep obsessed privileged school district

It's a big school district - which for some kids isn't going to be a good fit.

Growing up, some of my friends left the public schools because they needed a smaller more intimate setting for education success.

It sounds like you are really stressed out and you might benefit from therapy. Writing out your story can be therapeutic. Sometimes people that go to good or high pressure school can develop post traumatic stress disorder. Those types of schools can make you feel like a complete failure when you mess up in tiny ways. Sometimes outsiders judge you based on your supposedly privileged background when even the best schools let a lot of people fall through the cracks. Even the best schools aren’t free from bullying and discrimination. Be kind to yourself and don’t let it define the rest of your life. The future is unwritten.

First world problems. Take accountability for your failures and stop looking for someone else to blame. You went to one of the best schools in the state. Wake up.

First world problems smh. Theres a bunch of inner city kids who would kill for the opportunity to go to a school like mt lebanon.

I imagine it’s like a John Hughes film.

Got any examples?

You get out of it what you put into it.

I bet people from all different high schools have poor experiences. I don’t think it’s considered top 3 high schools in the area but secretly setting up kids for failure.

This is some real, solid, and well intentioned advice. I hope OP takes it.

I went to an adjacent one and I knew people from Mt. Lebanon who hated their experience.

Grew up in Upper St Clair, graduated USCHS in 2008. Not really close with anyone from my area, save for like one or two people. Living in Squirrel Hill, probably relocating to Philly soon and have no desire to ever live in the South Hills again, especially Upper St Clair.
