Logan Elementary School serves kindergarten through sixth grade in North Versailles, a first-class township roughly a dozen miles southeast of Pittsburgh in Allegheny County's Mon Valley. The school has a student body of just under a thousand, drawn from a community with a suburban-to-small-town feel rooted in its past as mill-town territory.
The student population is economically disadvantaged. All enrolled students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's enrollment skews somewhat toward Black and white students in roughly equal proportions, with a smaller share of students from two or more racial backgrounds and a minimal count of Hispanic and Asian students. Data on special populations such as the number of students with IEPs or English learners was not available.
Academic performance in math and English language arts is notably below the midpoint among districts in Allegheny County. In the most recent testing cycle, about one in five students scored proficient or above in math, and just under one in four met proficiency in English language arts. Science results from the prior year were substantially stronger, with about two-thirds of tested students proficient, suggesting the school has greater capacity in that subject. Across tested subjects and grades, the school's overall proficiency index places it below the midpoint in its county peer group. A parent may want to look into what the school is doing in science and whether those approaches can be extended to reading and math support. The school's small size means that these baseline results represent a real group of children, and changes in instructional strategy or staffing can shift them notably.
The grades served (K through 6) mean Logan has no graduation rate to report and does not prepare students for high school directly; students feed into East Allegheny Junior-Senior High School. State testing data for kindergarten through second grade is not available because those grades are not assessed in Pennsylvania's state testing system.
The housing market in North Versailles reflects modest affordability and modest recent appreciation. Median home values in the township are substantially below the state benchmark and well below the national median. Rental costs are somewhat above mortgage payments for similar-quality housing, suggesting that buying remains the more economical choice for families able to do so. The real estate market shows moderate activity, with a supply of homes for sale and fairly typical time-on-market metrics.
A significant context for families considering this area is the school district's tax situation. East Allegheny School District, which includes North Versailles, East McKeesport, Wall, and Wilmerding, proposed a major property tax increase for the 2026-27 school year, among the largest proposed hikes in the county. The publicly reported drivers include rising charter school costs, healthcare spending, and a shrinking tax base. Families relocating to North Versailles for housing affordability should factor in that school taxes are rising steeply. The district also receives tuition revenue from students sent by the nearby Duquesne City School District, a revenue arrangement that has been renegotiated in recent years as Duquesne rebuilt its own K-8 school.
Logan sits in a township whose economy is in transition. The former Eastland Mall, long a retail anchor, closed and was demolished, and the site was repurposed as an Amazon distribution center that opened in 2023. Retail and big-box employers anchor the Lincoln Highway corridor; transit to Pittsburgh is available through Pittsburgh Regional Transit, though the area is primarily auto-oriented. The township is quiet and family-focused, with parks and schools dispersed across seven wards rather than organized around a traditional downtown.
