School Overview

Franklin Benjamin High School sits in Philadelphia's Fairmount neighborhood, steps from the art museum and Kelly Drive — a genuinely vibrant part of the city with a strong sense of community. Families considering this school should know that academics are a significant challenge here, with the school ranking near the bottom of Pennsylvania high schools across English, Math, and Science. It may be a fit for families who are deeply engaged in supplementing their child's education and are drawn to the school's urban Philadelphia character, but those prioritizing academic outcomes will want to explore the broader range of options within Philadelphia City SD.
