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.

Music Department should get more focus and funding. A decent school. Definitely could have been worse.

I had a great 4 years at Yorktown High School, and felt well-prepared for college. I met many teachers who truly cared about their students and wanted to see them succeed.

The environment of the Highschool is very positive. Everyone there including staff and administration is rooting for you to do your best. The only thing I would change is the consistent quality of teachers. There are some that are absolutely amazing and some that are not. You can be taking the same class as someone else but your teacher can give a lot more work and grade much tougher. There should be more consistency with classes.

I have 2 children in the high school and both love it! Many opportunities for honor classes and AP courses along with music and athletics! There are multiple clubs the students can join and the student participation in school based activities is abundant.
