William Penn Senior High School is a decent school it has a few problems but the sports teams are really good and some of the teacher's can be hard the work with and other are really nice and helpful the food isn't good and we have to get checked by metal detector and our book bags get checked

York High has many great and talented students and faculty. Many teachers are very friendly and are dedicated to teaching the students the subject as well as helping them in their daily lives. The negatives are associated with the limited amount of resources available and the undisciplined students that give York High a bad reputation.
