York High School

Great School, don't send your kids to Tabb because it's popular when this is the best school in York County!!!

I had one child graduate from YHS and one is currently a sophomore. The New Horizons Auto-tech program was what my oldest needed. I'm glad that was available. The marching band is fun and they won States Championships last year. The teachers do care about the kids. My kids are middle of the road kids academically. The teachers teach what's required of course, but many of them have real life conversations with the kids as well. I find the teachers and administrative staff to be friendly and helpful. We are a military family, and I'm pleased with our decision to send our children to this school.

We are a military family and York High is the worst high school we have ever attended in our 20+ year in the USAF. Most of the teachers and certainly the principal are motivated toward assisting the children who come from the upper most income bracket. The school has a serious drug problem. One teacher has a reputation for passing only students that participate in sports; he is the coach! Students involved in choir, swim team or band never place in even regional competitions. Classroom behavior is a joke and does not help students trying to learn. One of my children is special needs and the IEP meetings were laughable. The special ed teachers are otherwise occupied and give little to no time to their students - they leave that to the aids, who are absolutely wonderful but working above their education and pay grade. Seriously, there is little good to say about York High. My advise is to live in the county so that your kids can attend Tabb High - better overall and the largest percentage of military kids. I love living in York County, but I'm glad my kids have put York High behind them!

Great school....wonderful staff and teachers! A fantastic school and learning environment. All staff and teachers are a great influence on the students!
