I use SchoolDigger to look at more comprehensively, but some positive developments for Philadelphia Schools.
Among High Schools, here is the ranking of some notable Philadelphia schools. I follow it with rankings of some well known suburban counterparts because you know, the assumption is always the schools are better in the suburbs.
So here we go. Format: School (% Students Proficient or Better in Test Scores, State Ranking, Change from Last Year). Edit to note: There are 674 public and charter high schools in PA, which are covered in this list.
Masterman (98.7, Rank 2, Change from Last Year +1)
Central (97.1, Rank 5, Change from Last Year -1)
SLA (93.1, Rank 22, Change from Last Year +90)
GAMP (89.6, Rank 41, Change from Last Year +131)
Academy at Palumbo (89.2, Rank 44, Change from Last Year +48)
Franklintown Charter (81.2, Rank 106, Change from Last Year +196)
Mast Community Charter (80.0, Rank 111, Change from Last Year -28)
Carver High School (78.5, Rank 123, Change from Last Year -15)
SLA at Beeber (72.5, Rank 187, Change from Last Year +162)
Arts Academy at Benjamin Rush (70.7, Rank 198, Change from LY -164)
CAPA (69.8, Rank 223, Change from Last Year +15)
The list keeps on going but should call out Girls and Bodine continue their falls from grace. I forget where they are on the list, they're not anywhere near the bottom but a decade ago they were routinely at the top of this one.
There are the suburban high schools in the top 50. Point being, if your child goes to one of the top 5 schools on the above list, they are in the same leage as these schools:
