2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is the worst school I have ever seen in my life. I moved to the area with my daughter going into school as a freshman. It was and still is absolutely horrible. The kids act like wild animals and the staff does absolutely nothing at all. You go to school to learn not to fight and be disrespectful to each other and faculty. I just thank the Lord I am in a position that I was able to move so my daughter could attend an amazing school that she deserves. The majority of the students come from the roughest areas in Philly they need to stay and tear down the area schools where they are from and not bring the nonsense to the better areas of Philly. The area to live is amazing the schools however need to be shut down.Parent Review5mo ago
