Excerpt from Statistics of the Colored People of Philadelphia
No register is kept in any school denoting standard of scholarship, nor is there any system of rewards for exciting emulation.
When the Sheppard School was established it was feared by some that the Coates Street School would be injured thereby, but the contrary proves to be fact. So, also, some feared that the Grammar Schools would be injured by the establishment of the Institute for Colored Youth, but the former were never so well attended, or in so prosperous a state as at present.
