6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageCurrently I have a middle school student graduating from McCall this spring and I had two older sons graduate in 2018 and 2020. McCall Elementary school is a wonderful school and the teachers and staff are outstanding. I recommend this school to anyone that has a child in the Center City catchment. My students did well in this diverse community and participated in extra curricular activities run by the teachers and staff. The years at McCall instilled in my children the love of learning and the importance of doing their best work. We will miss this community!Parent Review1y ago - Franklin Benjamin High School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI love my school. It's extremely supportive and our principle is the best in Philadelphia. He has really turned our school around. Compared to our surrounding schools, I believe our school stands out. We have excellent programs that keeps student busy and off the streets. Our test scores are truly rising. Our teachers really care about our education. They put their all into them lesson plans. Most people would look at our school and see it for what it use to be not what it's become. In my opinion, my school is the best. It's extremely diverse in several ways. Come visit us :)!!!!Student Review13y ago

"Old City is one of the most romantic and charming neighborhoods in Philadelphia! Galleries spill open for First Friday, the piers on the waterfront are bustling with yoga, activities and markets in the summertime, and fine art + theater art abounds, as do Indie film showings. It’s the cobblestone heart of historic Philadelphia, rich with culture, museums, the regular colonial actor encounter, and some delicious restaurants. It’s downfall: not the best in terms of gyms of grocery stores! "
