School Overview

Dick William School sits in the 19121 zip code, a neighborhood that's seen waves of change as Philadelphia continues to evolve, but families here are choosing a school that leans heavily on its community roots over test score performance. Academic outcomes are a real consideration for parents doing their research, with scores in math and science sitting at the very bottom of Pennsylvania schools, so families who prioritize those metrics may want to weigh their options carefully. That said, for parents deeply embedded in this North Philly community who value proximity and local connection, it's worth visiting the school directly to get a feel for the culture and what's happening on the ground day to day.
