What people are saying

by a teacher
Friday, November 9, 2012

This is essentially a Philadelphia public school with a stricter discipline policy and less choice. High school students do not have the option to take electives - they still travel in homerooms up until the 12th grade. If your child is gifted or even slightly intelligent, there are better places in Philly to send him or her. Classrooms are very full. High demands are placed on teachers and therefore, there is a high turnover rate each year. Close Quote
