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.

My overall experience with York Early College Academy has been very good. I have been enrolled for 5 years now, since I was in 6th grade, and it has been an amazing journey for me. The best parts of my experience have definitely been passing tests and exams, as well as winning the varsity basketball games. The worst part of my experience would probably be not having as much as technological equipment as other schools might have. I'd like to see changes in funding.

This school is not for everyone. York Early College Academy does not work with "bad" kids. My oldest son just graduated from there but my 2 younger kids that also attend there, I am looking to pull them out for September.

I went to this school since 7th grade. There are so many experiences I went through in that school, and I hope they changed a bit since I graduated.
