School Overview

School of the Future sits in West Philadelphia, a neighborhood full of energy, history, and ongoing reinvestment, but families considering this school should go in with clear eyes — its academic performance ranks near the bottom of Pennsylvania high schools, with test scores in English, Math, and Science all falling in the single-digit percentiles statewide. It may appeal to families who prioritize project-based or non-traditional learning environments and are willing to supplement academics outside of school, but those focused on strong measured outcomes will want to explore other options in the Philadelphia area first.
