Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 199: malformed pattern (missing ']'). 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.

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.[2]

History

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]

In 2008 Jack Stollsteimer, a former U.S. attorney,[3] and an area school safety advocate, criticized the school after the principal failed to report an assault of a student in a timely manner.[4] As a result, the school district demanded more thorough reporting from its schools, and the rate of reported incidents sharply increased.[3]

Feeder patterns

Neighborhoods assigned to Sharswood are also assigned to Furness High School.[5][6]
