These numbers are all over the place. The link you provided showed Clairton was only 11%.
Here's the best:
Straight from PA D of Ed
It gives the percentage of low-income students based on the teacher's ability to get loan cancelation for working in a low-income district. So probably not exactly a poverty number but close:
Trinity 32%
Fox Chapel 17%
Belle Vernon 38%
Baldwin 37%
CV 25%
Clairton 81%
Rich schools for comparison
Peters 4%
NA 5%
USC 8%
Peters and NA are 2 lowest in the state. York City SD is the highest at 99.94%

Regardless of what the actual numbers are, it was an extremely unwise expenditure to build that facility. Perhaps there's some large corporations I'm not aware of? Fracking money? It just doesnt add up. If Trinity can build that, everyone can.
