The teachers and staff are truly lovely and care about what our future entails. With that being said, the resources for the school are lacking, and the education quality is ok at best. If this school was located in another environment and had more resources, I could definitely see it being a great school. It's not the best school, but it's certainly not the worst school in this area.

I have been going to Shoemaker for almost all of my 6th through 11th grade school life. I have always had great relationships with my teachers and administration. I have been consistently encouraged to take the college pathway. I am currently in a pipeline program through UPenn I do however wish that they would offer a wider variety of programs for students at different levels. Overall, it's a good school with areas to improve.

Mastery Charter school- Shoemaker works extremely hard to provide a college prep education for NEIGHBORHOOD students. The teachers place rigorous behavior and academic expectations on all students so that NO child is left behind.

Ok, so yeah mastery has it good things I have to admit. They pay for really expensive tests that are required for application to college. They call themselves college prep school and they do help students with the college application process, but they prepared students to be mediocre. We can't choos...
