Summary:
The York 01 district of South Carolina is home to a single high school, York Comprehensive High, which serves grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 1,525 students. While the school has some areas of strength, such as above-average performance in U.S. History and English 2 end-of-course exams, it also faces significant challenges, including a graduation rate slightly below the state average and a chronic absenteeism rate that is considerably higher than the state norm.
York Comprehensive High's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates below the state average in Algebra 1/Mathematics and English 1, but above the state average in U.S. History and English 2. The school's spending per student is higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio is slightly higher than the recommended 15:1 ratio. However, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, may be impacting the school's academic outcomes and requiring additional support and resources.
Overall, while York 01 district is ranked 42nd out of 75 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, York Comprehensive High appears to be facing challenges that may require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes, particularly in the areas of attendance, graduation rates, and academic performance on key end-of-course exams.
