They stopped this by the time my kids were old enough for this school but I would've 100% slept outside for days to get my kids in here as well. This school lives up to all of the hype surrounding it. It is such a supportive school. It's the type of school where you feel like your child could never be forgotten. The staff is so involved & attentive to the children! They want to see each child do well & it shows! I only wish I'd been able to go to this school myself as a child. But I'm more than happy that my kids get the privilege of attending a school this great!!! I literally prayed that my kids would get in. If you're able to please try to get your kid/kids in here. You'll love everything about it!

A racially bias school that doesn't care for black students in the West Philadelphia area. They care more about LGBT , woke agenda, and sexuality than actual education. Unless you are an elitist white progressive liberal you are not welcomed.

PAS is the best school I recommend highly
