Schools in Antonia Pantoja Community CS · Philadelphia County

Philadelphia County is, for all practical purposes, the city itself — a dense, sprawling urban landscape where 298 ranked public schools serve one of the nation's largest city school populations across 83 districts and charter organizations. That scale means enormous variation: only 17 schools score in the top quartile statewide, yet those that do are genuinely exceptional. MAST Community Charter School and Masterman Julia R Secondary School both rank at the 100th percentile statewide in combined English and math performance, drawing students citywide. Families willing to research options and navigate selective admissions processes will find standout opportunities here — but the work of finding them matters.
