The William Penn Senior High School is a large, urban, public high school serving the City of York, Pennsylvania in York County, Pennsylvania. Enrollment has declined to 876 pupils in 2014. It is the sole high school operated by the School District of the City of York. The School provides grades 9th through 12th, with 87.6% of pupils eligible for a free lunch due to family poverty. Additionally, 36% of pupils received special education services, while 1% of pupils were identified as gifted. The school employed 82 teachers. Per the PA Department of Education 100% of the teachers were rated "Highly Qualified" under the federal No Child Left Behind Act.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, in 2010, the school had 1,329 pupils enrolled in grades 7th through 12th, with 609 students receiving a federal free or reduced-price lunch due to family poverty. The school employed 108 teachers, yielding a student–teacher ratio of 12:1.
Beginning with the 2015-16 school year, all the schools in the District, except the high school, will add 40 minutes of instruction time to the school day. At the high school, all the teachers prep time will be placed at the end of the school day and the students will continue with the shorter school day. District officials reported they did not want to interfere with sports or after school events.
William Penn Youth Court Alliance is an alternative to going to court for truant 9th grade students. Students’ parents/guardians have the option of choosing Youth Court Alliance over a citation to the Magisterial District Court. The parent/guardian and the student participate in a court-simulated procedure to address the issues causing truancy.
