We love Cotton Belt! The staff and teachers go above and beyond for all their students. So welcoming and caring of all needs. Perfect balance of teaching young leaders, and continuous kindness. Thank you for all you do!

I have 2 daughters that attended York Comprehensive, one that graduated in 2010 from the former high school and one that transferred in 10th grade to the SC Governor's School for Science and Math. As every parent wants the best for their children I am without exception. York offered a great connection and very hands on interest in both my girls allowing them to be the best possible students while encouraging and supporting their interests. The advanced courses offered are top notch and the extracurricular activities are abundance meeting a wide variety of interests. Our children have fund memories of most teachers with the exception of a math teacher that was very hard for students to understand, (which we are confident is retired by now), as well as an overloaded guidance counselor we were assigned to. The school building, technology center, and athletic fields are state of the art and represents the look and feel of a university. The district spared no expenses for their students, teachers, or faculty. Our oldest graduated college with a biology degree and our youngest is graduating from governors school this year. York Comprehensive was a great experience for our family.

First off, I just want to begin with the fact this is a horrible school. I do not recommend this to any parent that loves their child. It is a low income building with poor staff. The teachers here barely even teach their students! My child complains about foul smells throughout the building, and constant bullying around their 7-1 hall. These 7-1 teachers are doing something wrong because obviously my child is not receiving the education they deserve. They are too bothered by other students to even focus on their work. These people care more about school work then bullies. Kids are considering taking their own lives to avoid school. This is a very un-motivational setting for literal children growing up. My child is bothered by the fact the other children can't control their words or actions. I believe the people here are not doing a good job managing their students, fights are ongoing here and nobody seems to do anything about it! You go to an adult for help and none of them take action to provide for these student's needs. These children are being neglected and treated unfairly by staff, and to each other. I do not agree with the way this school operates and strongly believe they should just actually get up and motivate their students because the majority are failing all their classes. Its fault on both student and staff's end. These children don't want to do their work. York Middle, I expected better. Please do not enroll your children to this school, they will not be safe nor happy here.

This school is just terrible. The teachers are bullies. And the Principal is to focused on what the girls are wearing. I am so glad that my child does not have to go to this school anymore. Worst school in the district
