Swarthmore is a small but quietly compelling Delaware County borough where Quaker history, collegiate energy, and easy Philadelphia access all share the same two square miles. Rooted in a Quaker settlement dating to the late 1600s, the borough grew into a distinct community after Swarthmore College was founded in 1864, and that institution still shapes the character of daily life here. The college's 425-acre Scott Arboretum doubles as the borough's green heart, drawing walkers and nature lovers through wooded trails year-round.
Downtown Swarthmore, known locally as "The Ville," offers a walkable stretch of independently owned shops and a SEPTA regional rail station that puts Center City Philadelphia within a reasonable commute. The borough also hosts a Thursday Night Live summer concert series and an annual Jumble Sale through the Swarthmore Friends Meeting that draws crowds from well beyond the borough limits.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. 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.
