Castor Gardens Middle School, previously known as Woodrow Wilson Middle School, is an historic, American middle school that is located in the Castor Gardens neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is part of the School District of Philadelphia.

History and notable features

This building was designed by Irwin T. Catharine and built in 1892. It is a three-story, fifteen-bay, brick and limestone building that was created in the Classical Revival style. It features a projecting center entrance pavilion, four Doric order columns supporting an entablature, and a balustraded parapet.[1]

The school was named after the 28th President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson. In 2022, the name was changed to Castor Gardens Middle School, which is the name of the neighborhood in which the building is located.[2]

This historic school building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[3]

Present day

On November 14, 2017, the school was placed on lockdown at 1:45 p.m. due to reports of a gun in the school. Police surrounded the school and moved from classroom to classroom to search for the reported gun and later that same afternoon to dismiss classes. The lockdown was officially declared over at 5:23 p.m. No one was hurt and no gun was found. On March 15, 2019, the school was placed on lockdown again, this time for approximately two hours due to reports that a teenage boy had brought three live rounds of ammunition into the building. Police took the alleged suspect into custody. No weapon was found inside the school and no one was hurt during the incident.

Castor Gardens Middle School has been a certified International Baccalaureate School since 2012.
