Summary

York Comprehensive High is a public high school in York, South Carolina, serving 1,525 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the York 01 District, which is ranked 42 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While York Comprehensive High has consistently ranked in the middle to lower range of South Carolina high schools, its academic performance is generally below the state and district averages. The school's proficiency rates on End-of-Course (EOC) exams range from 35% to 87% across different subject areas and years. However, the school's Hispanic students have consistently outperformed their African American and White counterparts, ranking in the top 75 high schools in the state for this subgroup. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 80.9% to 93.9% in recent years, which is generally lower than the state and district averages, and its dropout rate has fluctuated between 1.0% and 4.4%, which is higher than the state and district averages.

One notable comparison is the nearby York 04 District schools, such as Nation Ford High, Catawba Ridge High School, and Fort Mill High, which significantly outperform York Comprehensive High across various metrics, including academic performance, graduation rates, and socioeconomic status. These neighboring schools have consistently ranked in the top 30-35 high schools in the state, highlighting the disparities within the same county. Additionally, York Comprehensive High has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 22.5% to 32.2% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages and could be a contributing factor to the school's overall performance.
