Score
Austin Meehan Middle School appears in inspection records five times, starting in 2023. The most recent visit was on Oct 22, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near eight violations per visit across recent inspections.
The pattern that stands out is “food & non-food contact surfaces cleanable”, which has been cited four times.
That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Philadelphia restaurants. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
