City - Philadelphia

Philadelphia sits at the center of American history and still carries that weight with quiet confidence — it's the city where the Declaration of Independence was signed, and today those same streets anchor neighborhoods full of energy and purpose. As Pennsylvania's largest city and the sixth most populous in the country, Philly draws renters with a broad economy spanning healthcare, financial services, biotechnology, and information technology, plus a university presence that includes the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel, Temple, and several other institutions spread across the city.

Neighborhoods here range considerably in character. Old City offers cobblestone streets alongside contemporary gallery spaces, Fishtown pulses with creative industries and converted-warehouse architecture, Rittenhouse Square delivers manicured parks and polished streets, and Manayunk brings a hillside village feel within city limits.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
