GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

We're over the years of me Attending William L. Sayre High School It was fairly a good experience.Over these 4 years My experience has been very great from it being a Public neighborhood School in West Philadelphia. I'm a very good student myself I have gotten all good grades for most of the years That I attend William L. Sayre High School. For it being a public school I really didn't have Any really bad experience.I didn't get in trouble Nor did I partake Being involved in Bad Things. If you stay to yourself and do your work you will not get any bad experience in the school.The faculty and staff We're pretty nice And I didn't have any bad experience with any of them.

She is there when we need her...
