There are a few good schools for young kids in the area, actually. Both public, Catholic, and charters. Lots of great daycares as well.

I don’t know first hand (I live in Fairmount) but I know my friends with young kids are looking to move due to the school situation.

Let them know to join Roxborough Mommas on FB- there are a ton of informative and involved parents in there. I was assuming that the public elementary schools were just so so, but through the group I've heard tons of parents singing the praises of the two local elementary public schools, with even some well to do parents opting to keep their kids in the public schools rather than private or charter because they've found the parent and teacher community *that* good. I've heard great things about Dobson and Cook-Wissahickon, and then there is Green Woods charter, which has people from East Falls, Mt Airy and Chestnut Hill trying to enroll there.
