8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school is known for its good academic teaching, but they focuses more and include education on gender identity and LGBTQ history as part of the curriculum. However, it's important to note that this may not be the best fit for families who have different values or beliefs. The school is more likely to be supportive of liberal families and woke agendas, so if that is something that concerns you, this may not be the right choice. As always, it's important to do thorough research and choose a school that aligns with your family's values.Other Review3mo ago - West Philadelphia High School

"I live in this neighborhood and sometimes it's very noisy - people talking and laughing loudly in the middle of the night. Sometimes groups of students are screaming and yelling on the streets. And it can happen that even in the middle of the day some Afro-Americans to scream uncensored words behind you. When you walk on the street people run purposely into you, they don't know to walk in their 'lane'. And on top of that there is so much trash on the streets. It's no fun to live in this neighborhood. Only if you have a job at UPenn or near you can still consider living in West Philly, other than that stay away from this neighborhood. Houses are overpriced and rarely are worth the money. The market is slowing down because the offer is so poor."
