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.

I want to see a focus put on useful counselors. I want a focus on this school getting the right administrators and leaders that care about students.

Best - Loved the sports teams (especially cross country and track), had a big variety of clubs ( I was in VIBE and ACA) Worst - Rats and cockroaches in the hallways, bathrooms clogged and unsanitary

Some of the best students in the country, but because it's still a Philadelphia school the building is crumbling and the teachers are a mixed bag, at least when you even have a teacher for your class. There should be more done to fix the school environment and the pressure put on every student there.

I would recommend this school because its amazing though the teaching isn't all that great since they teach more of the basic stuff and bullying is a bit of a problem but, over all I think this school is great.
