I 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 r

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI've been a part of Gesu School since 1996. I became Alumni in 2005. Since Sister Ellen departure (may she rest in peace) this school has gone downhill. She was replaced with the worst leader Alana Lee as principal. Alana makes discriminating comments about students, staff and families while showing favoritism to only a selected few. She is unprofessional and does not deserve to be a leader of this school. Teachers and staff barely stay the full school year and are disgusted with her leadership. Bryan Carter who is the president is also terrible and needs to be replaced. I would NOT RECOMMEND this school to anyone.Parent Review4mo ago - Friends Select School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur child left FSS in lower school because we felt that the administration placed more emphasis on "talking" about diversity than on meaningfully implementing it, or anything else for that matter. In our experience, adherence to the school’s stated messaging seemed to take priority over the quality of teaching. The curriculum was disappointing at best.Parent Review2w ago - Clementine Montessori
