GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Being a part of George Washington High School, I have learned many things both academically and personally that have had a heavy impact on my life. This school is good not only because it includes high academics but also experiences that shape students daily.

Currently I'm a college student but I graduated from this high school two years ago. I have very fond memories from this school. I met and befriended many of my current friends and learned a lot there. The teachers, not all but most of them were understanding and there to help us.

This school has been one of the worst schools ever for me . The school administration really doesn't care about students future and education. Safety is not handled. School conditions are terrible. Floor is very dirty and bathrooms are messed up and closed . School smells like marijuana . I wish I could change everything.

My son is finishing up his last year next year. I know the school has a bad rap as many Phila public High Schools. I have had no issues, the counselors and support staff have been helpful and caring.I suggest giving it a try before just going by reviews. I know many that stand behind the school.
