The Philadelphia school district is garbage. The other kids will be less affluent than you for the most part. Anyone who cares about their kid's future moves to a suburban school district asap. It's seriously a networking thing because socially life long friends get minted in elementary and middle school.
Yep. I was responding to the person's comment about cost of living.
Yup not arguing just adding my perspective. There are some gems though like science leadership academy which is a charter magnet school. If you're stuck in Philly it's probably the best school. I personally know someone that used to work there doing IT and teaching kids programming.
