4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI don't think the test score reflects the school's quality of education. Our students in Furness come from all where in the world. We have a very diverse student body. As a graduate student and also a valedictorian of the Furness High School, I can proundly say that our faculty members and students are great. Our test score may not as good as the other school, but our students are carrying more weight in family and it's not easy to anyone to study a new language.Parent Review1y ago - Vare-Washington Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have had 4 children in this school since 1999, one has graduated, another will this year. I love this school, the teachers are always willing to help the staff is also. This school does not put up with all the bullying and taunting, they have been in the top 5 of the best schools in the Philadelphia school district and have met the standers of the AYP since my children have been attending Vare Elementary. It is a school that is there for their kids and their family members. One I am very proud of and recommend to anyone in the South Philadelphia area.Parent Review14y ago
