• Franklin Benjamin High School (550 N Broad St) Franklin Benjamin High School reviewed by a student

  I love my school. It's extremely supportive and our principle is the best in Philadelphia. He has really turned our school around. Compared to our surrounding schools, I believe our school stands out. We have excellent programs that keeps student busy and off the streets. Our test scores are truly rising. Our teachers really care about our education. They put their all into them lesson plans. Most people would look at our school and see it for what it use to be not what it's become. In my opinion, my school is the best. It's extremely diverse in several ways. Come visit us :)!!!!

• Masterman Julia R Secondary School (1699 Spring Garden St) Masterman Julia R Secondary School reviewed by a parent

  My child is an 8th grade student at Masterman. Next year she joins the elite 100 as a 9th grader. Masterman is a school that virtually runs itself academically because of the students. The majority of the students are gifted and thanks to their own initiative or that of their parents they will always do well. My child has been fortunate because every year she has had at least one superior teacher. The teachers in the middle school do not appear to be as invested as the high school teachers but those that were invested were excellent. We are looking forward to our next four years at Masterman. The administration is very approachable and easy to work with. The building itself due to its age could use some updating. The School District needs to pay better attention to the needs of their gifted students too much emphasis lately on empowerment.

• Masterman Julia R Secondary School (1699 Spring Garden St) Masterman Julia R Secondary School reviewed by a parent

  My daughter attended Masterman from 5th-12th grades. She graduated in 2007. She is a very bright 'MG' child who was challenged to the point that she actually had to work! I loved it. She learned how to organize herself and make better use of her time. She got into a good college and is doing well. She also made some amazingly incredible diverse friends, one she is rooming with in college. However, you must be your child's advocate, if you don't and they are quiet like my daughter, they will get lost or ignored by the teachers and administration. They do have some amazing teachers here, and at the same time because of the teacher's union they have some duds. I was sorry to Mrs. Bravo retire as Principal.

• Masterman Julia R Secondary School (1699 Spring Garden St) Masterman Julia R Secondary School reviewed by a parent

  While there are a surprising number of middle school students with discipline problems, students on average are good and their parents care about their education. Sadly, Masterman teachers take this for granted. They don't try to make learning fun or engaging. They don't much teach. Instead, students are subjected to a grinding schedule of homework and, in school, ill-planned unsupervised group work, which means Masterman students are mainly self-educated, in combination with the many hours parents must spend assisting them with homework and particularly massive, pointless, relentless 'projects' that invariably demonstrate teachers who have given very little thought to the pedagogical objectives of such time-wasters. This school has been a great disappointment. The only thing it has to offer is a reputation, and I suspect it's going to be losing that in the coming years, given how weak the teaching is (with a very few exceptions).

  Floored that the best school in Philadelphia has such a repulsive cafeteria. Shocked that the teacher in a wheelchair is given a substandard basement classroom. Ugly library. Dirty building. Why doesn't the administration take care of these issues, so easily remedied? Poor kids! They knock their brains out in grades five to eight , and then have to reapply for high school.

  I am in 6th grade and has been at Masterman since 5th grade! I absolutely love it! There are so many different cultures and opportunities! They teach about roman myths/history in Latin, they have music and gym also! Everyone has heard about the famous heavy load of homework we receive! Well it is true! There are a lot of projects, worksheets, and textbooks! Although, the teachers and staff are wonderful and well educated! They try their best to help you! There are a bunch of trips! My 2nd yr has been the best so far! It is very different from my old school, even though they're both public schools! Anyway, this school is awesome! I would really recommend this school to any child who would like more opportunities and better education!

  The staff & teachers are great. My child is bullied daily and I've been to the office to complain and nothing is done. They basically tell the kids involved including your child that if it happens again they'll be suspended. Nothing happens. My child has been hit, threatened & talked about by other kids w/o doing anything to them in the first place. There is no order in the lunch room & the staff there is overwhelmed. Even when the Principal is there, the kids are still out of control. I can't wait to get my child out of here! I had no idea is was like this. He has managed to learn here but I can help but think how much more he'd learn w/o the daily distractions from other kids. It's the same kids all the time. Thank God for the staff and teachers who stick around.

  My son is in the 8th grade, he simply loves his experience at Masterman, he is very comfortable with all aspects of academic life a Masterman except for one that often is a source of great frustration to him. For those that for watever reason did not move to Algebra II and were asked to repeat Algebra I, he felt that after being challenged in 7th grade by a wonderful math teacher and getting an A, repeating the same conceptual framework, regardless of the teacher skill and enthusiasm, severely bruised his self steem, disrupted his friends support base and mainly left a big hole in what was a sequence of continuouly challenging math sequence. My humble suggestion is that if assessment suggest that they are not ready to engage the demands of Algebra II, to at least explore some more advanced topics and / or applications

  I am in 7th grade at Masterman, I started in 5th. While I love some teachers and classes, there are a few teachers who can't teach well, and/or act completely innapropriately. As for social stuff, I love that my friends are white, african-american, asian, hispanic, and anything else they may be. To me, and most everyone at Masterman, we are just people. We're friends. We're all one big family. As for the infamous workload? Please don't take this lightly. The amount of work we get is insane. Accept that your child may indeed get a B or occasional C on a test because there is no time to study because WE'RE TOO BUSY LEARNING ALGEBRA IN THE 7TH GRADE. Yeah, it's tough. But knowing that A's and B's at Masterman can take you to nearly any high school you want to go to, helps me keep my head high...and my grades.

  My son is in his first year there. Already he's been suspended in October for not understanding what a pink slip was and how serious it was if he didn't take it. Tried to have conferences with teachers and counselor, they said they would help him better himself by putting him on probation and getting him the tutoring and any help he needed. Nothing was done and my son is still being the example in the class. Don't think he's gonna be there much longer.
