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.

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 like that York High School is very connected to its community. However, it is a small town. Everyone is in eachother's business and love to gossip.

I loved that my school really encourages others to participate in activities. I was never one to be a part of a team or like being around people but my school pushed me to want that. I was a part of One Act for 3 years and we made it to state every single year. I also liked how inclusive our school was. Usually activities like theater or fine arts aren't as recognized as sports but my school does a very good job at making sure everyone's included.

Good education and offered a lot of college courses through SCC and Peru State. The school has both good sports and fine art programs, but focuses more on the sport programs. The school would greatly benefit from giving the speech and one act times that win state as much attention as the sports teams that lose in most state competitions.

The school and the town are not welcoming to newcomers. The administration do nothing to help new kids so they feel left out and to make it worse the school is clique. I would not recommend anyone going there unless you want to feel ignored. The teachers also pay little attention and its hard to get...
