My daughter attended Robert Morris. Caring, knowledgeable teachers with fresh ideas. Great curriculum on computers, reading, math and music. Family oriented staff & personnel.

This school is awful and I am so absolutely relieved my child is out of there. The principal, although very nice cannot control her staff.
