Parkway West

Parkway West is a Philadelphia high school serving the West Philadelphia community, where families are navigating a challenging urban school landscape with limited high-performing options nearby. The school's English scores show some relative strength compared to its math and science numbers, which may appeal to families with students who lean toward humanities. West Philadelphia itself is a dense, historically rich neighborhood with deep cultural roots, easy transit access, and an active community — families committed to staying local and investing in their neighborhood school will find a school that reflects the grit and character of the area around it.
