John Hancock Demonstration School

John Hancock Demonstration School sits in the Northeast Philadelphia neighborhood of Torresdale, a quieter, more suburban-feeling corner of the city where families often put down long roots. The school draws students who are working toward grade-level proficiency, with English being a relative strength compared to math and science, which leaves some room for growth. Families who value a neighborhood school with a tight-knit community feel — and who are actively involved in their child's learning — tend to find a comfortable home here.
