York School

Posted: October 5, 2025

I was a former student at York and left halfway through High School. The student body at York is very small and the spirit is little to none. I felt almost ashamed going to this school, in sports they are horrible. Academically they had litterly nothing to offer but the bare minimum. The students in my opinion are very weird and unwelcoming. I am a big athete and the sports were horrible, the management is terrible and the jerseys for sports are like five or ten years old. The gym floor has zero grip. The weight room is heavily outdated too. Just going to that school I used to be made fun of, by being called "York Dork" since the only thing they do is study. The work load is crazy and for what I am trying to major in for college they had nothing to offer. I am currently going to a different school in the state and it enjoy that way more than I would ever at York. York is a horrible school and their staffing is even worst, students aren't the type of crowd you will make good friends with. Public school or a different private school is way better.

York High School’s poor administration stifles independent thinking and creates a toxic environment. The leadership is not good, enforcing rigid rules and overwhelming workloads that emphasize “rigor” over students’ personal time or mental state. Concerns are ignored, and the culture is divided, with older teachers excluding new hires. This inconsistent environment leaves students struggling to navigate policies instead of fostering critical thinking or genuine growth. Reform is urgently needed.

Dwindling enrollment has led to cuts in academic programs such as French, band, Latin and other humanities electives. Over twelve faculty and staff left at the end of the last school year, which is never a good sign. Some amazing teachers, but an administration that seems in over their heads. Apparently was a very good school a few years ago.

I graduated from York about 5 years ago and now my little brother is attending and he loves it just as much as I did. It a nurturing environment, fostering intelligent and creative people.

York is the premier school to attend if you have an interest in learning and a commitment to education. From the Head of School to the faculty to school employees, this is a community where everyone is supported and valued for who they are. As a parent of a daughter at York School, I am beyond grateful for the caring environment where my daughter enjoys coming to school and participating fully in her high school experience. York is a school where students thrive in the rich academics as well as in their sport, the music and theater programs, student government, clubs, and whatever they choose to devote themselves to.

The homework supports the in-depth learning for students, providing a richer understanding of subjects, not busy work because there's a need to give homework.

Teachers are excited by what they are teaching and this enthusiasm and genuine interest in the subject is felt by students. Teachers also care about their students and develop respectful relationships with students. Students find it easy to approach teachers and ask questions or make appointments to review material.

The Head of School is approachable, a good listener, and is authentically interested in feedback. The current Head of School is new this year and has become very invested in the community by reaching out through surveys and coffees, asking good questions to all groups within the community. There is deep commitment by the Head of York as well as the entire administration team and the faculty to serve the community well.

There is a culture of respect in the school community. The school has a diverse population and they treat each other with kindness and respect.

For those parents and students who are willing to make a commitment to their child s education, then York School is the place to be .. The school is academically challenging, the teachers are fabulous, and the support staff is there to assist with any issues. I have two children one that has already graduated and gone on to college and one that will be graduating in 2014. While both children had a different experience at York, they will walk away with fond memories of the friend they made, the classes that shaped them, the plays they participated in, the JSA debates, the sleepless nights studying but most importantly the knowledge that was imparted to them by everyone at York. The teacher s encourage the students to be passionate about learning. All students are treated equally and with respect by the staff and in turn the students do that with each other. I entrusted my children to York and with their guidance and education, they gave me two beautiful, bright, intelligent, independent young women. Thank you York.

Beyond the academics and broad exposure to the arts and athletics, the two things I most appreciate about York is how it cultivates tolerance and respect for all members of the school community, and how it recognizes and celebrates the unique package of strengths and characteristics that each student brings.

My son is having an excellent experience. Teachers know him, recognize his strengths, and help him with his weaknesses. He has a diverse group of friends and the environment encourages him to be his best--as a person and student. He loves sports and has found the athletics very satisfying--lots of time on the field and positive,encouraging coaches. Students are engaged in all facets of their learning and learn to build relationships with teachers--a skill that will serve them well in college and beyond.

It is a joy to work for this school. Why? Because of the students. They are committed, engaged, funny, independent, creative, and very much their own people. The robust scholarship program allows for meaningful socio-economic diversity. Teachers are there to engage in thoughtful conversations with students. They are devoted to professional excellence. Our parents are our partners, a significant tribute to the strength of community. At York, education isn't just about getting into some brand name college; it's about the joy of learning and engagement with life!
