About Altoona Area SD
Description provided by the district or community — not part of the NCES dataset.
The Altoona Area School District has established a reputation for innovation and excellence. With a student population of nearly 8,000, Altoona Area is one of Pennsylvania's largest school districts. It encompasses 60 square miles and includes the city of Altoona, Logan Township and a small portion of Tyrone Township. The primary mission of the Altoona Area School District is to deliver the written curriculum in a thorough and efficient manner to every school-age student, and measure said delivery to its purported effect. The secondary missions are to instruct students on standards of behavior which should include, but not be limited to: manners, responsibility, reliability, dependability, self-discipline, self-esteem and perseverance; and to become partners with our community in economic revitalization and development.
