Garrettford Elementary School

Drexel Hill is a dense, workaday suburb just west of Philadelphia, the kind of place where rowhouses line the streets and families have been putting down roots for generations. Garrettford Elementary sits in the middle of that well-worn community, serving a neighborhood where academic performance tends to run below the state midpoint across English, math, and science — something families weighing their options will want to factor in. Those drawn to the area's affordability, easy transit access to the city, and tight-knit feel may find Garrettford a comfortable fit, especially if they're prepared to supplement at home or lean on the broader Upper Darby district's resources.
