The Young Women's Leadership School at E. Washington Rhodes High School was a public secondary school for girls located at 3100 North 29th Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. The school is a part of the School District of Philadelphia.

History

In September 2005 the School District of Philadelphia converted Rhodes Middle School, a coeducational middle school, into an all-female middle and high school.[1] During that year the district established The Young Men's Leadership School at Thomas FitzSimons High School for males.[2] The males zoned to the former FitzSimons and Rhodes zones were assigned to FitzSimons, while the females in the zones were assigned to Rhodes. After the redesign Rhodes reported a smooth transition.[1]

In March 2012, the Philadelphia School Reform Commission voted to turn Rhodes back into a co-educational middle school.[3] The students were reassigned to Strawberry Mansion High School.[4]

Transportation

SEPTA serves the school with Routes 32, 48, and 60.[5]

Feeder patterns

Feeder elementary schools include Thomas M. Peirce Elementary School, Anna B. Pratt School, John G. Whittier School, and Richard R. Wright School.[5] Ethel Allen School, a K-8 school, feeds into Rhodes.[5]

School uniforms

Rhodes students are required to wear school uniforms.[6]
