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!

However, it's important to note that this may not be the best fit for families who have different values or beliefs. The school is more like...

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
