Summary:

The 19124 zip code area of Philadelphia is home to 8 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 8th grade. These schools include a mix of public and public charter institutions, all serving predominantly low-income populations with high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Among the standout schools in this area, Juniata Park Academy and Mastery Cs-Smedley Campus emerge as potential high-performers, with relatively strong academic proficiency rates in math and English language arts compared to their peers. In contrast, The Philadelphia Charter School for Arts and Sciences at HR Edmunds stands out as an underperforming school, with single-digit proficiency rates and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
