School Overview

Mitchell Elementary sits in the Kingsessing neighborhood of Southwest Philadelphia, a close-knit community that's home to long-time Philadelphians and a growing number of families putting down roots in a more affordable corner of the city. The school's academics are an area where families may want to supplement with additional support at home or through community programs, and parents who are engaged and proactive about their child's learning will find that investment especially worthwhile here. For families who value being part of a neighborhood school with a strong sense of place in a historically rich part of Philly, Mitchell can be a meaningful part of the community fabric.
