School Overview

Elkin Lewis School sits in the heart of North Philadelphia, a neighborhood with deep roots and a tight-knit community feel that many families have called home for generations. The school faces real academic challenges, with test scores that reflect the broader struggles common across many urban schools in this part of the city, and families considering it should go in with clear eyes and a plan for supplementing learning at home or through community programs. For families already rooted in the surrounding Kensington area, the school offers a local option close to home in a part of Philadelphia that is working hard to support its youngest residents.
