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 36 teachers, Penn Treaty Sch has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. 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.

As a neighborhood-based public school within the School District of Philadelphia, it provides a comprehensive secondary education that bridges the transition from middle school to high school, aiming to foster a consistent academic community for its students throughout their adolescent years.

The school emphasizes a commitment to student growth, offering a range of core academic subjects alongside extracurricular opportunities designed to engage the diverse student body. By operating as a combined middle and high school, Penn Treaty seeks to build strong relationships between staff and students over time, focusing on college and career readiness as students progress toward graduation.
