I am a substitute teacher and have been to many schools in this district. This school is a free for all. At any given moment there are special needs students running the halls because there is no support for them. There is no security and a child could and has left the building without an adult bein
Posted by a teacher on 12/14/2023Both of my children have attended this school. My daughter made it into one of the top middle schools in the state. I would say that says a lot about the school. My son is still there and doing great. Chances are he will make it into a great middle school, too!

Posted by a student on 6/28/2018This school is the best kept secret in Philadelphia. My daughter transferred here from a private school in the suburbs and just absolutely loves it. The teachers are wonderful and the principal is a leader and the community is supportive. It's exactly what a public school should be. We love it here.
Posted by a parent on 6/24/2018Transferred my child from the neighborhood catholic school because he wasn't getting the support he needed. The staff is so caring and do whatever they can to educate every child.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have had the worst experience with special education in this school. My child has gotten mis treated by employees and they don't even say anything to the parents. Being that my son is nonverbal autistic, they feel they can talk to my child in all types of ways. They have no patience for kids with disabilities. I do not recommend anyone with a child thats on the spectrum to attend to this school.Parent Review1y ago - Hunter William H School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSt. Laurentius School has been a wonderful experience for our entire family. Our children were educated in a loving, dynamic environment by teachers and staff motivated to reach every child where they are. SLS is always looking to improve - their school building, their teaching methods, their academic program - while holding strong to their foundation and education. My children who have graduated already were incredibly prepared for high school and we love it.Parent Review9mo ago - Holy Name of Jesus
