Posted by a student on 8/22/2025My experience could’ve been different if it weren’t for Mrs. Tobin and Mrs. Fargnoli. Like most public schools in Phila, this school faces significant challenges, but the staff that I’ve encountered appear to put their best foot forward. I believe the staff could work anywhere, but the choose to be
Posted by a parent on 3/28/2020My family relocated to Philadelphia for my sons 4th grade year. During his 1st year of attendance I had little to no issues or complaints. During his 5th grade year is when the bullying started. For a school that claims it is strict with their "no bullying" policy I was in awe. My son was pushed dow
Posted by a community member on 1/13/2016I've gone to this school for 9 years. I have been here from kindergarten and I have to say that this year (2013-2014) has probably been the worst year.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTerrible school, ESPECIALLY if your kid is autistic. Teachers don’t know what they’re doing, principals don’t care and nobody makes an effort to do any better. I gave this school two chances and it just got worst.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teaching staff for grades 1-8 are okay. The principal and dean do not handle situations effectively. They do not keep parents up to speed, the dean has used foul language to me and the children. She unprofessional and rude she uses street language invited me to the school to “match my energy”.Parent Review4mo ago - Lincoln High School
