School Overview

Julia Ward Howe School sits in the northwest Philadelphia neighborhood of Ogontz, a densely residential area of rowhouses and tree-lined blocks that has a strong sense of community identity. The school serves a neighborhood where families are deeply rooted, and parents looking for a local public option with a community-centered feel will find a familiar, close-knit environment here. Academics are a work in progress, with scores in the lower range statewide, so families who are engaged and willing to supplement at home or through community resources will likely get the most out of what the school has to offer.
