Julia R. Masterman Secondary School
#43 Best Public Middle School Teachers in Pennsylvania
Senior: Masterman is a great school. It has its faults, but for a public school in Philadelphia I think it offers challenging and engaging classes, excellent teachers, and great connections between students. If you thrive in competitive environments, this is a good place for you (as long as you're careful not to let that competition consume you- there is definitely a toxic culture here). Because the student body is so small, students have better opportunities to connect with their teachers and build constructive resources to help them in the future. There is also a genuine appreciation for learning here: most students take school seriously, which fosters a great learning environment for people who like school. Facility-wise, not so great. There are also underlying issues of diversity and an awkward administration. But students here are uniquely independent and fierce advocates of their own opinions- the student voice is always loud, if not heard.
