School Overview

Disston Hamilton School serves the Mayfair neighborhood in Northeast Philadelphia, a tight-knit, working-class community where families have deep roots and a strong sense of local pride. The school's numbers reflect the challenges that come with serving a high-need urban population, but families in the area tend to value its role as a neighborhood anchor in a part of the city that often flies under the radar. For families committed to Mayfair and looking for a local public option, Disston Hamilton is part of the fabric of a community that takes care of its own.
