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.

I have been at York my whole life and I am very glad to have been able to attend to be at such a school. Most other schools are less disciplinary and give a hard time to students. Every year York tries to do more for the students and teachers. It is truly great, sure it's not perfect but I wouldn't like to be anywhere else. The only thing that I am upset about is that I don't get to be in the brand new building in the coming future. So, thank you for your time.

Experience was great. Great School Great Teachers My favorite teacher was Mr. Bice. Great Classes Great building to help you exceed in your education. The director is a great guy and he was there from when I enrolled in 7th grade all the way u til I graduated. He took great care of our school and gave us students great resources. Mr. VanEtten. He hired great staff including Mr. Bice and also another great teacher Dr. Hartman. She taught me physics and chemistry. She taught us a lot of things we had great curriculum and our school was IB. We had great opportunities for internships and help with college prep and scholarships.

What I liked about York International is that it is very engaging, very welcoming, and very outgoing. Something I would change about York International would have more options for food and be able to eat the food outside as well and have a calming yet enjoy full way of eating your food indoors and outdoors and gain the opportunity to choose between many other options.

I also love that as my big kid grows and moves on to middle and highschool, they can stay at the same school as their younger sibling because it is a K-12 school. York is a special place to learn and grow! I look forward to...
