School Overview

Parkway Center City Middle College sits in the heart of Philadelphia, making it one of those schools that feels genuinely woven into the fabric of the city rather than just located in it. Its English scores are among the strongest in the state, making it a great fit for families who prioritize literacy, writing, and humanities — though math is more of a work in progress. The Center City location means students are steps away from museums, cultural institutions, and the kind of urban energy that can make learning feel like it extends well beyond the classroom.
