Robert E. Lamberton High School

Robert E. Lamberton High School was an American high school located in the Overbrook Park section of Philadelphia. Lamberton HS had 350 students. The majority of students were African-American, while 2 percent were Caucasian or other ethnic groups the last year it was opened. When it was opened it was primarily all Caucasian students. The school is named for Robert Eneas Lamberton, who served as Mayor of Philadelphia from 1940 to 1941.

The school was closed in 2013 as part of Philadelphia's shutdown of 23 district-run schools. ^[1] Displaced students were enrolled in Overbrook High School.^[2]
