D.K. Boyd's Wayne Grammar School

Today it is the oldest school building in downtown Wayne.

One of the best known and prolific architects to have called Radnor home was David Knickerbacker Boyd. Born in 1872, some of Boyd's earliest designs were for the Wayne Estate and developers Wendell & Smith.

Boyd's work. It is the Wayne Grammar School, for which Boyd had designed (and published) several concepts before the School …

Speaking from a current student's point of view - and having just taken three weeks of PSSA testing in March and April - I believe (along with many of my fellow students) that the PSSA's are a major waste of time. Classes had to be reschuedled or cancelled or moved to different rooms to allow for testing. Whole sections of the building were locked down with teachers guarding the doors. And the …   more ›
