Small high schools in Philadelphia
ListenHour 2
Of the School District of Philadelphia’s 60 high schools, thirty-three are considered “small schools” with enrollments under 700 students. While some operate as neighborhood schools and others are opened to students throughout the district, a handful are “special admissions schools,” where admission is competitive. In this hour of Radio Times, we talk with principals of two small high schools – ANN GARDINER, principal of Bodine High School for International Affairs, and CHRIS LEHMANN of the Science Leadership Academy.
