I've never heard anything bad about it. The areas that feed into it seem to be decent and stable. Everyone I know that's gone there has turned out pretty OK. That's about all I've got, sorry!
It's a decent district. It's next to one of the best school districts in the state so that skews the perspective. It's like the cute neighborhood girl standing next to a supermodel.

I don't know too much about it, but the suburbs that make up are three good solid middle class ones so I'd imagine it's a decent district. You do not hear too much in the way of crime or problems coming from any of its three boroughs.
Given that I have a child poised to enter the school district in two years, I wish I could speak more authoritatively on this question. In a digression, however, during one of my recent deep dives into the Google Newspaper Archives, I located some interesting discussions from the early 1960s. At this time (apparently) there was an Allegheny County School Board (I assume this no longer exists), and the school board had developed a comprehensive plan for school district mergers in the county. Interestingly, with respect to the three communities that make up the KO School District, the county board wanted to:
merge Castle Shannon with Baldwin-Whitehall and Brentwood;
merge Green Tree with Chartiers Valley, Carnegie, and South Fayette;
merge Dormont with Mount Lebanon AND USC (can you imagine the size)!
By the time the school districts merged and were in the process of building a new school, some Dormont residents had the temerity to protest a $15 increase in school taxes for the "lavish" high school, seehttps://news.google.com/newspapers?n...g=4757,5522663
