2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI love my school. It's extremely supportive and our principle is the best in Philadelphia. He has really turned our school around. Compared to our surrounding schools, I believe our school stands out. We have excellent programs that keeps student busy and off the streets. Our test scores are truly rising. Our teachers really care about our education. They put their all into them lesson plans. Most people would look at our school and see it for what it use to be not what it's become. In my opinion, my school is the best. It's extremely diverse in several ways. Come visit us :)!!!!Student Review13y ago

"I've lived in this community since 1978n and have always loved it. It's convenient to center city and to major arteries out of the city. It's well-served by public transportation, with quality restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance. Street parking is controlled by city-enforced permits, to guarantee residents a place to park. The nightlife is quiet -- no honky-tonk or loud music. Views of the city's famous skyline are steps from the front door. "
