GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

C.W. Henry is an excellent school in the School District of Philadelphia. The teachers are experienced and the administration is supportive. Students have the opportunity to have a well-rounded experience. There are ample opportunities for the arts, music, sports, field trips, and extracurriculars. They recently gained a wonderful playground in the back of the school.
