GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My overall experience at York County School of Technology was rather nice. While I experienced a bit of bullying and I had to find my own on my own ever so often, the good teachers/academics made up for it. The school is wonderful if you speak to the right people. It is full of opportunities

Going to York Tech has been an amazing experience and has helped me figure out what field I want to be in. As it has helped me set out for what I want to do for later and life and helps us get out more. Tech's food and principal's aren't all that great though! I love the school so much better than going to my public school (Red Lion)
