Area around school (city ave, wynnewood, manayunk, roxborough) are pretty safe. Things that are different between these is really how expensive they are relative to each other. For example, in Manayunk you will be able to find a nice big house that can have 3-4 people easily for cheap (I'm talking ~$500/month per person) where as in area around school, you won't find lot of houses for rent, mostly apartments. And these apartments can run anywhere from $600-$800 per person even if you get a 2 or 3 bedroom.
Now, center city. That's a whole different story. I'm not too familiar with individual neighborhoods but I know you can find good houses for rent in Art Museum area but expect to pay a little bit more. Actually, expect to pay a little bit more in center city....sometimes a LOT more depending on where you want to live.
Your best bet is to look for housing around manayunk/roxborough/east falls area if you want something reasonably priced, safety, and close proximity to school.
