Lewis C Cassidy Academics Plus

Cassidy Academics Plus sits in West Philadelphia, a neighborhood with deep roots and a strong sense of community pride, but families considering this school should go in with realistic expectations — the school's test scores rank near the bottom of Pennsylvania schools, with particularly steep challenges in math and science. It may still be a fit for families who are closely involved in their child's education and are looking to supplement with outside resources, tutoring, or enrichment programs. West Philadelphia itself is a densely connected urban neighborhood with easy access to parks, transit, and community organizations that can play a meaningful role in a child's overall development.
