"Lived here for a while it’s probably the last nice neighborhood in Northeast Philadelphia. Still reasonably priced houses. Elementary and middle schools are still good but you will have to figure out something for high school because Washington is not a good school.. "

"buses are everywhere, very easy to get anywhere. bad traffic, close to 95, RT. 1 and the turnpike. 1.5 hours to beach or Mtns. NY and Baltimore 2 hours on a train. 25 minutes to the airport. Good Doctors however, are hard to find. I love the convenience of Philly, but hate the noise! constant car crashes at my corner, fire, police, ambulance and bus noise are a constant issue. "

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI just can't with this school. They built an addition a few years ago and the student population is almost 1500. It got to the point that many classes and grades max out. It should be 30 students max in K-2nd and 33 students max in 3rd-5th. There are over 55 classes in this school. Do the math. Every September this school has multiple waitlists. If there is no more room, they will send your child to another school and it is YOUR responsibility to get them there. They do not provide bus transportation to other schools. If you refuse to send your child, be prepared to get letter from Truancy Court. Because of the overcrowding, the bathrooms are gross and smelly, the hallways and classrooms are dirty and never get cleaned, and it just gives off a gross vibe. Also, almost half the student population is non-English speakers. This is the norm with many schools in NE Philly. The school is just too darn big and overcrowded and it's not going to get any better...Parent Review7mo ago - Red Lion Elementary School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOverall we had only positive experience. School is small, multicultural, and offers a lovely home-like atmosphere including breakfast, snack and homemade lunch. After-school program is included so parents can work. Students’ knowledge is higher than their peers from public schools. Teachers, principal and administration are caring and supportive. Close relationship between teachers and parents; school makes you feel welcome and accepted. You wouldn’t appreciate it until you deal with administration and principal in other private and/or public schools.Parent Review1y ago - Shaare Shamaylim Nursery School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have 3 kids In the school. For the most part the school ive always thought the a school was okay not super excellent just okay. My older son was struggling in math and he would go in a small group for help but even that didn’t really do much, because he would still struggle. His grade was up and down up and down. They didn’t really do much to make it stay up. Not all of it on the school because he was some what of a rusher so I won’t put all the blame on the teachers. My son has also experienced some racism which really gave me a bad taste mind u he has been at school since 1st grade so for this to happen in grade 6 just upset me so much. The principle at the time handled the situation but maybe not to the best of her ability in my opinion. There is now a new principle so I’m hopeful that things might be better!Parent Review6mo ago - Lehigh Christian Academy

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI went to this school from kindergarten to 3rd grade which there I switched to Pine Road Elementary. This school may have a lower number of students, but this does not make it a better school in anyway. My sister also went to this school and she struggled socially, both of us not being accepted because of our ethnicity. This school is bs and not worth any penny. It offers no real education and will not prepared you enough for college, making it virtually impossible to go to an ivy league. The students were all trouble and even as a kid I could tell because if how rowdy they were in the lower school. This school is more of daycare than an actual learning facility and it puts my mind at ease that it is finally shut down. I did not give this review because of a hated teacher, student, or revenge. I gave this review for the sole purpose of letting people know how bad of a school it actually was, and lower the number of stars because in no universe is this school four stars. The faculty new me since I was a baby and they were close with my family, but even that does not change my opinion.Other Review10y ago
