School Overview

Stetson Middle School sits in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia, a community that has faced significant economic challenges over the years and continues to work through them. Families here are resilient and deeply rooted, and the school reflects that gritty determination — but it's worth knowing that Stetson ranks among the lower-performing middle schools in Pennsylvania, with very low percentile scores across English, math, and science. Families who choose Stetson would benefit from supplementing with outside tutoring or enrichment programs, and getting closely involved in their child's academic progress day to day.
