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 was hesitant to send my child at first... But after actually going to the school and meeting the teachers and staff I was confident my student would do well here. It's a wonderfully diverse environment. There is a focus on college preparation beginning in 9th grade. Penn treaty has many programs to support the students such as 12+, AVID, and city year. There are extra curricular activities and sports. This is a school on the rise. The staff and students are working hard to raise expectations.
