This is my son't first year at Masterman. He is in the 5th grade. I was very worried about the transition from a small prodimately African-American School to a larger setting. His adjustment was smooth. We both love that he has an opportunity to mix and mingle with all different types of cultures. Academically Masterman runs a tight ship. My son is being more challenged academically for the first time in his life he has to study. :) I love it! He has made the adjustment, we are still working on the organizational part but he has gotten better. He loves the new friends he has made and he loves the fact that being MG doesn't draw alot of attention because it's the norm at Masterman. I feel the school is safe. The building is a little old and can use some modifying. Its been a great experience so far.
I so agree with the statement made on the Sept. 7, 2009 posting. I child's states that he has spent the last 3 yrs. at Masterman teaching himself, for the teachers I stopped. So I agree that a lot of the students are doing well because they are determined to learn. This is something that should be looked into. I have tried but I have not gotten anywhere.

Masterman is a great school in terms of education. It is full of some of the most intelligent and hardwoking students throughout the Philadelphia region. The students are hardworking and very freindly. Cliques do not exist at the school and everyone helps eachother. However, I believe the school may be starting to falter. The teachers there are either amazing educators or terrible, lost instructors. Personally, I think the school is only doing this well due to the students determination to learn.
