School Overview

Fels Samuel High School sits in the Northeast Philadelphia neighborhood, a part of the city known for its tight-knit communities and working-class roots. The school's scores cluster in the single-digit percentiles across English, Math, and Science, so families who prioritize academics may want to weigh their options carefully — though for students who thrive with extra support and a smaller urban school environment, it can still be a fit. Families considering this area are drawn to Northeast Philly's relative affordability and strong sense of neighborhood identity compared to other parts of the city.
