School Overview

George Washington High School sits in the far northeast corner of Philadelphia, serving families in neighborhoods like Somerton and Bustleton that often feel more suburban than city — think tidy rowhouses, quiet streets, and a strong sense of community pride. The school's academic profile is on the lower end for the region, so families with a close eye on test scores may want to weigh their options, but for kids rooted in this tight-knit corner of Philly, it offers a familiar, community-connected environment. Families who value staying local and being part of a neighborhood school culture will feel at home here.
