This little school certainly has a big impact. Children are achieving above their grade levels and graduating on to some of the best high schools in Philadelphia.

This school should be used as a example of what teaching our young minds and future leaders should be . The teachers and staff work so hard for these kids ive never seen children so interested in wanting to learn in my life it is very refreshing . I highly recomend this school as being not only the most caring and way above the normal. Great school and staff specially for inter-city

'Nothing but net.' I am very pleased with the progress my son has made during his year. He has learned to work with others, his basics in K are being nailed and the discipline style is excellent. The kids respect adults and each other. The physical plant is not the most opportune but they manage well with what they have. I look forward to my son developing his academic skills in this school.

Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
