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.

History

The 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] George Sharswood was a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, a Philadelphia city council member and a judge.^[3] The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.^[1]

In 2008 Jack Stollsteimer, a former U.S. attorney,^[4] and an area school safety advocate, criticized the school after the principal failed to report an assault of a student in a timely manner.^[5] As a result, the school district demanded more thorough reporting from its schools, and the rate of reported incidents sharply increased.^[4]

Neighborhoods assigned to Sharswood are also assigned to Furness High School.^[6]^[7]
