History In September 2005 the School District of Philadelphia converted Rhodes Middle School, a coeducational middle school, into an all-female middle and high school.Woodall, Martha. "All-Boys' High School Off to a Rocky Start." Philadelphia Inquirer. Monday February 27, 2006. During that year the district established The Young Men's Leadership School at Thomas FitzSimons High School for males.Snyder, Susan. "High school reworked as boys-only." Philadelphia Inquirer. Sunday August 24, 2005. The males zoned to the former FitzSimons and Rhodes zones were assigned to FitzSimons, while the females in the zones were assigned to Rhodes. After the redesign Rhodes reported a smooth transition.

In March 2012, the Philadelphia School Reform Commission voted to turn Rhodes back into a co-educational middle school.Herold, Benjamin.
