Young Scholars CS

Young Scholars CS sits in the heart of Philadelphia's Northern Liberties neighborhood, a lively, walkable area full of independent restaurants, parks, and a strong sense of community — but families considering this charter should know that its academic scores place it near the bottom of Pennsylvania schools, with particularly low math performance. It may appeal to families who value the charter school model and proximity to a vibrant urban environment, but those prioritizing test-based academic outcomes will want to explore other options in the city. Philadelphia has no shortage of strong public and charter schools, so it's worth doing a thorough comparison before enrolling.
