This school is great! It is one of the best high quality up to date schools with new technology including smart boards computers. Its sports program is good we have many feilds which are cared for well by the wonderful maintnence. The staff at the school are always willing to go beyond what they do, for the most part WCCS is a great school for children and being involved

This School is great!!! The teachers are warm hearted but when needed they are good at disciplining misbehaving children . Many students go on to great collages. There is little violence and the students are polite.The CYFL football teams have won countless numbers of state championships including an 11 season winning streak. The modified teams are all un-defeated along with JV and varsity is not doing so well at the moment. At Wayland we have a activity called hometown heroes which is a non-profit organization to help people in need.

The School has a diverse curiculum for the students to explore most every thing available to a secondary student. It also has a very well rounded extracuricular program that ranges from stage and music through most ussual sports plus a few many schools don't offer. The teachers and staff are very educated and work hard to promote good education whether it be special need, mainstream, or advanced students. I would recomend this school to anyone looking for a school that is strong academicly and extracuricularly that can't see paying the price of living in the highest rated school districts like Westchester County.

From my view, W-C is an excellent high school. Proportionally, students there seem to be highly educated and seem to further themselves in life than alot of other schools I come in contact with.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 New York used the New York State Regents Examinations to test high school students in english language arts, math, global history and geography, US history and government, living environment, chemistry, earth science, physics and several foreign languages. The results for english language arts, math, living environment, chemistry, earth science, physics, global history and geography, US history and government, french, italian, and spanish are displayed in GreatSchools profiles. Students must take at least five Regents Exams in order to graduate. Scores of 65 and above are passing; scores of 55 and above earn credit toward a local diploma (with the approval of the local board of education). The goal is for all students to pass the tests.
