The worst school in pa. If you can avoid this school you should.
Posted by a student on 10/15/2025I am at a loss for words the experience I had with the High school. Very unprofessional .The principle and assistant principal shouldn't be in the positions they are in.
Posted by a parent on 2/10/2019It was a bad experience for me. It is not a very diverse place at all so when you look different, everyone notices and you are treated differently!! I only lasted 4 months at this high school before I transferred to online. I’ve never heard more racial slurs in my life
Posted by a student on 1/16/2019I attended WYHS and graduated in 2007, went onto earn my BA and MFA. I had a wonderful experience.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy children are very intelligent and like a challenge. I love to see them stretch, academically, athletically, musically etc. This school fits the bill for me. Has a nice family/community feel, great STEAM focus, new building with wonderful spaces. Truly feels more like a hip college campus! In particular, my kids enjoy the digital arts, robotics and French. I love seeing them learn through cool projects and really figure out how to apply skills. My kids find that their teachers respond quickly to emails when they have an issue, even at night and on the weekends. They seem to feel that their teachers are easy to approach and engaging in class. My spouse and I enjoy the candor and passion the teachers share with us as parents. While tuition is high for York, my money is extremely well spent on one thing that really matters to me, the future.Parent Review9y ago - York Adventist Christian School
