According to PSSA test website, their score better than what it has here. I believe the data in Great School are from about 10 years ago, needs update. Located in and serving for peaceful neighborhood by lots of responsible teachers and staff, definitely it is one of great schools in the city. The only pity is that it only has K-5.

This is one of the best school in town. Less reviews are available but I can assure anyone that here, the principal, staff, teachers all are fully dedicated towards kids learning. Parents involvement is the best part. School is best for Maths, reading, science, digital literacy etc. after school clubs are the best part. there are so many things about this school. Its a hidden gem in the area. there are some other schools in Philadelphia which are hyped due to their huge funding and may be infrastructure but this gem has everything one must consider despite of its not that huge funding!

My daughters are going into first grade at Jenks. Our experience has been exceptional. The principal and teachers are caring and top notch, the academics are challenging (my Kindergartners were reading at a second grade level by the time the year ended), and the Home and School is very active. The school asks a lot of parents, which is what I believe makes it such a great school. I considered a charter but decided to give Jenks a try through family members with direct experience and I am very glad I did. It's also one of the top performing schools in our district, despite the low score here (I blame the SDP for that, though). Great school, truly.

Great school, principal not the same as a few years ago, Ms. Chestnut is great, very caring and doesn't show favortism. My grandchild is in 1st grade and came from a catholic school, where favortism was constantly shown, plus public school is more advanced and you can get all the help you need, not be pushed to the side.
