School Overview

Forrest Edwin School sits in the Mayfair neighborhood of northeast Philadelphia, a tight-knit, working-class corner of the city where families tend to put down roots and stay for generations. The school's scores reflect the real academic challenges facing many Philadelphia public schools, and families here are navigating a system that requires patience and advocacy. For parents committed to their neighborhood school and willing to get involved, Mayfair itself offers a strong sense of community, tree-lined streets, and a quieter pace compared to the busier parts of the city.
