I attempted to write a very quality review. Lengthy with lots of info and examples and it never showed on the site. Only principal's name was mentioned and no others so i don't know why it was removed? So now I will simply say Just make the choice not to attend York. Springfield is an open District and you can request a transfer to your choice school within the district (no guarantees of approval but you can at least ask)!

"There is a boys and girls club that provides activities and guidance for children after school. There is also many fine parks in my neighborhood area. The children can play ball and ride their bikes on my street without worrying about people running them over. The streets are posted with a speed limit sign that also warns drivers that children are playing. "

"A safe place to live. Affordable housing for working-class folks. Close to everything Springfield has to offer. Plenty of public transportation traversing the area. A short drive to major roads leading throughout the city and surroundings. I have never heard of any flooding problems in this area and the city utilities are well-installed and maintained. I have lived in many places across the USA and this area is among the quietest and safest I have lived in."
