School Overview

Parkway Northwest is a standout for science and math in a city where competition for strong STEM programs is real — its science scores rank in the top 5% statewide, which is genuinely impressive for a Philadelphia public school. Families who prioritize hands-on, analytical learning and want their kids challenged in those areas will find a lot to appreciate here. The school sits in the northwest corner of the city, a part of Philly with tight-knit residential neighborhoods, easy access to Fairmount Park, and a community feel that's a bit quieter than the bustle of Center City.
