Simon Gratz High School Mastery Charter, formerly Simon Gratz High School is a secondary school in Philadelphia. Its name honors Simon Gratz (1840-1925), a member of the Philadelphia Board of Education.[1] Originally a public high school operated by the School District of Philadelphia, Gratz has been operated as a charter school by Mastery Schools since September 2011.

In 2012, the school was removed from the Persistently Dangerous Schools List while under the new management of Mastery.[2] Part of the building is used for Mastery’s Prep Middle School (7-8th grade).
