My experience while attending First Philadelphia was great. The teachers are hands on and are always understanding. The school itself is college readiness. They would have colleges come visit and look at your application and accept you to college on the spot.

I like that students have a good relationship with each other & respect the staff members. The school is an good environment to be in, I feel safe going and coming back to school everyday, I also like how the staff and students are diverse so I don't feel like I'm the only person of color in the school. Also the activities we have are fun and enjoyable for staff & students, recently my school had a color day where 10th grade & 12th grade competed with each other in games to earn a dress down day.

I hate this school. Some of the staff only care about hanging out with students. They never let you have a voice or say anything important that you think will help the school. And they do really bad and disciplining children.
