Welcome to Willow Hill Elementary School

We are a dynamic and culturally diverse learning community located approximately 5 miles from Philadelphia in a suburban residential area. Originally constructed in 1965 and renovated in 2004 2006 Willow Hill is home to more than 300 students in grades K-6 from various cultural religious and socio-economic backgrounds.

At Willow Hill we have a dedicated group of teachers specialists support staff and administrators who possess a sincere faith in student achievement and public education. In a quest to ensure that all students receive equitable opportunities to learn and excel we work progressively to support our children academically socially and emotionally.

Additionally Willow Hill is truly fortunate to have proactive and dedicated parents who work diligently to support Willow Hills vision. They help to maintain a framework and an environment that enables our diverse community to continually prosper evolve and flourish.

Willow Hill offers an intense and rigorous curriculum. Our programs are research-based and scientifically sound. Furthermore our curriculum reflects the standards and assessment anchors outlined by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. In the past many educators operated on the premises that we knew what students needed to be taught. However by continuously using research-based tools to identify what students know and what students do not know we are able to maximize instructional time. Next we take a look at what student needs are and make instructional decisions accordingly. Then we carefully monitor student progress to ensure that our decisions are valid. If our decisions are invalid we implement targeted data-driven adjustments to help student progress. With this mission in mind coupled with continued parental support we look forward to another successful year!

Our Vision

The vision of Willow Hill Elementary School is to facilitate a challenging standards-based educational system wherein all students who enter our learning environment leave and continue their academic path having acquired the skills and knowledge necessary to complete proficient or advanced work on grade level. In partnership with families and community we will create a stimulating atmosphere in which strengths are enriched; deficiencies are addressed; new concepts are introduced; strong compassionate character is developed; and all children are connected accepted and valued. Relationships among staff students and families are enhanced through actions of mutual respect cooperation and understanding.
