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. 
Great teachers, great resources, great parents. 
With so many people vying for spots in the same trendy public and charter schools, it is worth considering some schools that might not be on your radar.
Bache-Martin is on the right path and will soon be among the city's best. I hope more Fairmount parents will take a chance on this school--having involved neighborhood support will only help the school. 
There is not a single school among the large number that I have considered that do not have passionate advocates and vocal detractors. 
Find out why one family chose Friends Select over Independence Charter School, Folk Arts Cultural Treasures Charter School, Russell Byers Charter School, and Bache Martin
