Have you been struggling to learn more about the Northeast Philadelphia area? Whether you’re moving for work, family, or fun, hopefully this guide gives you a great start.
Northeast Philadelphia was once the home of rich farmland and a getaway destination for some of America’s wealthiest industrial families to escape the hustle of center city life (of course center city Philadelphia was much different from what we know it as today). Over the past approximately 50 years, Northeast Philadelphia has blossomed from farmland and escape mansions into an elegant blend of urban meets suburban. It’s an area with deep rooted history, charming greenery, incredible pride, and strong diversity. It offers great access to Center City Philadelphia (a hub of culture and history), but at a fraction of the cost of Center City living. It affords some of the benefits of city life but in a more suburban and residential environment.
Northeast Philadelphia is divided by the City of Philadelphia into two sections: Near Northeast and Far Northeast, respectively. If you move or are thinking about moving to Northeast Philly, you will also often hear locals identify with a specific neighborhood. Each neighborhood has its own character, from the quaint charm of Fox Chase to the greenery of Pennypack.

There are a variety of public, charter (independently operated public schools), and private schools located within the Northeast.
The public schools are part of The School District of Philadelphia.
The School District of Philadelphia offers three different types of public schools.
Neighborhood Schools, Citywide Schools, and Special Admission Schools.
Some of the highest rated elementary schools in the city are located in the Northeast 6 including: Joseph J Greenberg Elementary (K-8), Anne Frank Elementary School (K-5), Comly Watson (K-5), and William H. Loesche Elementary School (K-5).
Some of the highest rated middle and high schools in the city are located in the Northeast including 6 : Joseph J Greenberg Elementary (K-8), C.C.A. Baldi Middle School (6-8), and high schools include: The Arts Academy at Benjamin Rush (special admission).
There are also Charter schools.
Since Charter schools are still public schools, they are also tuition free. One disadvantage, however, is there is no guarantee of admission. Students must apply directly with the charter school they are interested in enrolling (with few exceptions).
There are also many private schools in the area including: Father Judge High School (boys), Holy Ghost (boys), Archbishop Ryan High School, Nazareth Academy (girls). Outside of the area, but within the greater Philadelphia area includes: Abington Friends (Jenkintown, PA) and Calvary Christian (Philadelphia, PA).
