Rating 3.31 out of 5 739 reviews
Being a senior and being apart of the Philadelphia School district since 4th grade I feel as though the school district has done their part to keep students safe giving the city that we live in. We live in a city where you hear about shootings, robberies, kidnappings, break in’s all of the above almost everyday. As people who have became immune to seeing this everyday I have felt like they’ve went about and beyond to encourage students to stay on the right path by not only keeping us safe but offering us alternatives than being in the streets during covid they had food drives every week to make sure students who only eat at school continue to eat, numbers of after school programs, supplying us with laptops to further continue our education during the pandemic, allowing us to have a way to and from school and the list goes on! During my 12 years of being in school I can say the school district itself has served good purpose and support for students to blossom the way we should.
I've always liked the community aspect of the Philadephia School District. From an early, I remember seeing the community come together to help educate children. I grew up with some amazing teachers who gave their all when trying to help their students succeed academically and mentally. The Philadelphia School District teachers continue to do the best for their students, no matter how limited their resources are. If I could change anything about my school district, I'd increase the salary for the fantastic teachers in my city. I'd also like to see more funding for inner-city schools so there's an opportunity for after-school programs. After-school programs not only offer academic help but safety for inner-city youth. A rise in after-school programs and boys and girls clubs will hopefully decrease the gun violence that plagues the city.
The Philadelphia School District, it would be best to provide more details about your experience so that I can provide a more accurate response. Nonetheless, the Philadelphia School District is known for its diverse student population and commitment to providing quality education to its students. It has faced challenges in the past but continues to strive towards improving its educational system.
