Summary

York Middle/High School is a public school serving 366 students in grades 6-12 in the town of Retsof, New York. The school is part of the York Central School District, which is ranked 579 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has seen a mix of performance, with graduation rates generally on par with or slightly above the state average, but dropout rates that are comparable to or slightly better than the state. However, the school struggles with higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates. Academically, York Middle/High School has had mixed results, with 6th-8th grade ELA and math proficiency rates often below the state average, but strong performance on some Regents exams. Certain student subgroups, such as white students, special education students, and low-income students, have performed below the state averages for those groups.

Compared to nearby schools, Perry Junior-Senior High School and Pavilion Junior-Senior High School generally outperform York Middle/High School, while Mount Morris Middle/Senior High School lags behind. The school's statewide ranking has also declined in recent years, suggesting a potential downward trend in overall performance that the York Central School District may need to address.
