麥考學校（英語：General George A. McCall School）是費城索塞蒂希爾的一所公立八年制學校，服務索塞蒂希爾、費城華埠、和費城老城區。麥考學校以George A. McCall得名。

歷史

學校創立於1911年2月, 麥考學校承擔了一部分來自 Binney 學校的學生,第一校長（Louis Nusbaum）是Horace Binney學校舊校長。

麥考在1920到1930年代之間因其「再教育學校」而出名，它是一個為14歲以上至16歲年齡段學生所開設的學校，每周去一次學校，那時的義務教育到14歲為止。

1950年代，麥考學校為學生提供以英語為第二語言的教學課程，這是美國公立學校提供的首例。1953年，參加學校ESL課程的學生超過兩百人，而且來自二十多個國家。

《黑人企業》 （Black Enterprise）雜誌稱，大約在1964年時，麥考學校「以黑人學生為主，被人們所忽視，幾乎不配稱為一個學校」。這也反映了學校所在社區當時的狀態 -- 同一雜誌稱其為「城市中最令人沮喪的貧民區之一」。從那時起，富裕的居民開始把孩子送到其他學校。到1976年，這個街區逐漸貴族化，以白人為主了。

In the mid-1960s it received an auditorium and gymnasium, and prior to 1976 it received a renovation. By then the neighborhood became mostly white and wealthy. By 1976 the school became one of the highest-ranked schools in Philadelphia; the student body of McCall reflected the wealthier and white majority demographics. According to Black Enterprise, the demographic and academic transformation of McCall was a demonstration of the phrase "The better the neighborhood, the better the schools."

By September 1998 the school, which had 650 students, established a bilingual English-Chinese program to serve Chinese American students, and that month it began hiring teachers fluent in both languages to teach core subjects. At the time 25% of the students were Chinese, and the number of Chinese students had doubled in the previous two-year period. Russell Scott Smith of Edutopia wrote that in 2004, compared with other schools in Philadelphia, "McCall already had a fairly good reputation for academic rigor and safety" and that by 2009 it had improved even more. In 2012 Kristen A. Graham of The Philadelphia Inquirer stated that McCall was one of "the district's stronger neighborhood schools".

In 1976 Black Enterprise stated that there is more emphasis on saving historical buildings in Philadelphia compared to other major American cities; it stated that "in any other large American city it would probably have been torn down by now."

The school received a "cybrary" (cyber library) in 2007—a library facility with 22 computers and materials in Mandarin Chinese financed by fundraisers and bake sales.

交通

In 1993 the school district began a school bus route between Chinatown and McCall. The school is 1.4英里（2.3公里） away from the furthest point of Chinatown. The district was not required to install the route, but parents advocated for the route because they believed that traffic at Market Street and Washington Square endangered their children. When the district proposed to eliminate the route in 1994, parents complained.
