East Lansdowne is a borough in Delaware County Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 2,714 at the 2020 census.[3]

Geography

East Lansdowne is located at 39°56′39″N 75°15′37″W / 39.94417°N 75.26028°W / 39.94417; -75.26028 (39.944162, -75.260253).

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough has a total area of 0.206 square miles (0.53 km2), all land.[1]

East Lansdowne is located about approximately one-half mile west of Southwest Philadelphia and is surrounded by Upper Darby Township, namely the Stonehurst/Stonehurst Hills/69th Street and Fernwood neighborhoods. Union Avenue to the west separates Lansdowne from Upper Darby, while the East Lansdowne border is near Hirst Avenue, leaving a one-block expanse of land that is part of Upper Darby Township. It is the former railroad track that gives East Lansdowne borough's western boundary that vaguely ovoid shape.

The borough of Yeadon is south of SEPTA's Media/Wawa Line railroad tracks, about one block south of East Lansdowne.

Education

William Penn School District serves East Lansdowne. The district was created in 1972.[6]

  • East Lansdowne Basics Magnet Elementary School (K-6)
    • In 1972 the school's library was open to the public, one of the few school libraries to do so, as East Lansdowne had no other public library. That year, it had an area for sports called the "dust bowl". That year John Hilferty of the Philadelphia Inquirer described it as "even more minuscule" compared to the East Lansdowne borough, which he called "Lilliputian" due to its 0.21 square miles (0.54 km2) size.[6]
  • Vision Academy Charter School (K-8)
  • Penn Wood Middle School (7-8) (Darby)
  • Penn Wood High School, Cypress Street Campus (9-10)(Yeadon)
  • Penn Wood High School, Green Ave Campus (11-12) (Lansdowne)

Private schools

Saint Cyril of Alexandria Catholic Elementary School (K-8), founded in September, 1929,[7] was moved to and combined with St. Philomena in nearby Lansdowne, PA in 2021[8] after a protracted battle to keep the school open.

In December, 2005 the archdiocese proposed closing it, but it remained open after community members, inspired by a child with cystic fibrosis who asked for the Make a Wish foundation to save his school, donated $200,000 to keep it open. This was dubbed the "Miracle at St. Cyril." In 2012 the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia proposed closing it again,[9] intending to merge it into St. Andrew School of Upper Darby. However the archdiocese reversed that decision.[10] Instead it became the Independence Mission Schools, not operated by the archdiocese.[7] In 2012 there were 207 students.[11]

Vision Academy Charter School purchased the St. Cyril of Alexandria buildings from the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and opened during the 2021-22 school year.[8]

Religion

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia operates Catholic churches. St. Cyril of Alexandria Church in East Lansdowne opened in June 1928.[12] In 2013, St. Cyril of Alexandria merged into St. Philomena Church in Lansdowne, with the St. Cyril parish closed.[13]
