The School District of Philadelphia hopes to better understand how the District is changing through the Comprehensive School Planning Review (CSPR), a collaborative process that will assess public school enrollment, educational program offerings, and school facilities.

This assessment can help plan for things like overcrowding or underuse or whether schools will need different resources to support changes in the languages they serve.

The CSPR process will take place across four years, and will assess public schools with traditional enrollment across the City of Philadelphia. Cycle 1 of the process started at the beginning of the 2019/2020 school and includes 21 schools spread across three areas of the city. 

Since this is a collaborative process, each step will involve a cycle of feedback between district staff and industry experts, planning committee members, and the public. The CSPR team is preparing for the first round of open Community Input Forums on March 3, 4, and 5. The Community Input Forum for the Study Area 3 (West Philadelphia), which includes Cassidy Elementary, Gompers Elementary, Lamberton Elementary and Overbrook High schools, will be held on Thursday, March 5, 6-8 p.m. at Overbrook HS (5898 Lancaster Ave.).
