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.

York is super well funded, which opens doors for many great opportunities. Our sports of all levels are great. We have tons of clubs and activities to participate in. If you don't feel like you want to join the established clubs, you can easily make your own. The teachers want you to succeed. The class sizes are nice. The school is diverse which makes it super fun and welcoming:)
