George W. Sharswood School is a K-8 school located in the Whitman neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is a part of the School District of Philadelphia.
Contents
The historic school building was designed by Henry deCourcy Richards and built in 1906-1908. It is a three-story, seven bay, brick building in the Colonial Revival-style. It features projecting end bays with entrances, a large stone cornice, and brick and stone parapet.
History
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
In 2008 Jack Stollsteimer, a former U.S. attorney, and an area school safety advocate, criticized the school after the principal failed to report an assault of a student in a timely manner. As a result, the school district demanded more thorough reporting from its schools, and the rate of reported incidents sharply increased.
