PRINCE HALL

Prince Hall is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Philadelphia City SD school district, located in Philadelphia, PA with about 556 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. Student demographics can be found below. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 27 teachers, Prince Hall has a student/teacher ratio of about 20:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Prince Hall Elementary School, located at 6101 North Gratz Street in the West Oak Lane neighborhood of Philadelphia, is a public school serving students in the School District of Philadelphia. As an urban K-8 institution, the school is deeply integrated into its local community, focusing on providing foundational academic instruction while navigating the challenges and opportunities common to the city's public education system.

The school is named in honor of Prince Hall, an influential abolitionist and the founder of the first African American Masonic lodge in the United States, reflecting a commitment to the history and empowerment of the local Black community. While the school manages the standard curriculum mandated by the district, it serves as a neighborhood hub that emphasizes personal development, character education, and the fostering of a supportive environment for students throughout their formative middle school years.
