Wyncote is a safe place where activities are held for kids, libraries and schools are easily accessible and access to fast and healthy foods are effortlessly available to residents. The crime rate is relatively very low , children are safe and the neighborhoods are calm.

They have nice people who are not too judging. Everyone is at least a bit polite. The streets are clean and it's not as loud and busy.

Wyncote is a great town. It is very family friendly and the people there are very nice. I grew up in Wyncote and went to Cheltenham High School. I had a great experience there because of the diversity and positive environment. The teachers really helped me learn what I needed to succeed.

I am very lucky to live in the area that I live in now. My school district is right on the border of Philadelphia and a lot of students illegally come to the schools. This is making the quality of the schools decline and safety has been a real problem over the last few years. Though many people are upset about this issue, I think that people are just doing what is best for themselves. I don't know what kind of situation each person comes from and this might be a great opportunity for them to get a better education than they would have. Because of this there is a lot of diversity in an otherwise very caucasian area. I have had the opportunity to become friends with many people from many backgrounds and this has enriched my school experience. I am very grateful for the diverse environment that I grew up in.
