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.

Saunders has been a great school for me. I have learned so much academically and socially. I've made lifelong friends while managing to maintain a 4.0 GPA because of my knowledgeable and caring teachers. The staff is outstanding. I can't think of one thing I would like to see changed. Living in Yonkers, NY all of my 17 years, I've known since elementary school that this was the high school I wanted to attend.

Right now, I am just a freshman, and I can comfortably say, "I go to Saunders." It really is a great school, with so much opportunities, and the people are funny and really kind. If you are in 8th grade worrying about high school, Saunders should be your choice!

This school has a great staff and administrators that help create a safe and comfortable environment for the students while they learn. My son felt so confident and at home after just two months in his first year there. Awesome school !!
