Message from the Principal

Welcome to the Rhawnhurst Elementary School Website. 

 

Rhawnhurst Elementary is located at 7809 Castor Avenue in Northeast Philadelphia.

 

We are a Kindergarten through Grade 5 School with a current enrollment of 529 students. This includes an early childhood component—“Bright Futures Class”.   Our students represent a diverse range of nationalities and speak over 27 languages.

 Along with the teachers and staff, I pledge to:

• Promote parent involvement and active, ongoing home/school outreach

• Providing rigorous instruction that will ensure high student achievement and proficiency in all content areas

• Promote a positive, nurturing, and caring environment where all students can learn and perform at their best level

• Provide a safe learning environment for all students

We encourage you to return to our website and to learn more about the Rhawnhurst School community. Our website is updated monthly.
