Parents sharing the process of searching for a school in Greater Philadelphia. What kind of school are you looking for? Charter, public, private, city, suburban?
Henry is a local school (although not our catchment school) with a good reputation and a strong network of families and alumni. 
Save yourself from the thoughts of uprooting your family and moving to the suburbs, putting yourself on tons of charter school wait lists, and filling out the financial aid forms every year. Check out your public school! 
Invest in our city's public schools--send your children there--and you will reap public as well as individual/family rewards. 
This was such a long and drawn out process. We loved many of the schools we visited and applied to. 
I liked the idea of my children being exposed to different cultures including non-native English speakers. 
Yet another inspiring grassroots effort underway to improve a neighborhood school 
Taxes are crazy high but at least the school quality reflects that. 
My son is doing fantastic. He is well above his grade level in math and reading, but far from bored and really exploring things and issues I never thought about in kindergarten!
