Lasalle Academy

This is one of the bestest schools, if not the best elementary school in Philadelphia PA, it is such a great school, that it is even better than a private pay out of pocket schools. Principal Moody is an excellent, model Principal. The classes are really small about 13 children per class and each class has two teachers plus minimum of four assistants. They truly care about the children and the families. For Thanksgiving they go all out in giving to the families and children. They are team players and partner with other agencies to provide only the best for the children that attend here and to help the families of children that attend and in the community. The children are so respectful, and so we’ll behaved. Never any fights or problems. The school is so professional and surpasses excellence. For Christmas they don’t just give away cheap low quality toys, they gave my child lots of expensive toys and only the best for the children. They made our Christmas, even had the highest quality celebration and are also respectful and mindful of children and families that do not celebrate Christmas and are very inclusive. We absolutely LOVE this school. My child went from almost flunking to an A and B student, the school staff worked so hard to bring him up to par and helped produce excellence in him. I would recommend this school to everyone. It is a top notch school.

i disliked the experience to an extent

The City School is a Christ-centered school that educates, builds, and nurtures students to be their best Christian self and reach their academic potential through character development, strong academics, community service, and support.

I went to this school when I was in 5th and 6th grade (I’m currently 19). This was the worst school I have ever been to. Not only did I get bullied constantly by students I was bullied by teachers. This isn’t your average bullying it was straight racism. This school only respects you if you’re white. Don’t bother going here if you want your child to have a good environment to learn in.

My two children attend this school. My oldest is in first grade and my youngest is in k4. My 5 year old is learning to read already and my 7 year old is reading and writing perfectly! The homework is adequate and not overbearing like some schools can be. My children have attended a charter school and although it was amazing the amount of homework affected our family time and my children were often overwhelmed to the point they were no longer retaining the information. This school provides enough to keep them academically challenged but not over burdened. I couldn’t be happier!
