Elkins Park is an unincorporated community in Montgomery County, split between Cheltenham and Abington Townships about 12 miles northeast of Center City Philadelphia. Its identity is shaped by a legacy of early 20th-century prominence, once home to industrialists and civic titans whose estates left behind some of the region's most striking architecture, including Frank Lloyd Wright's Beth Sholom Congregation, a National Historic Landmark. Gratz College and Einstein Medical Center are nearby institutional anchors, giving the area a steady base of academic and healthcare activity.
Two SEPTA regional rail stations connect residents to Center City in under 20 minutes, making the commute practical without requiring a car. The housing stock reflects the area's layered history, ranging from stately older single-family homes and twin houses to more modest rowhouses and low-rise apartment communities tucked among tree-lined streets.

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.
