Summary

York Comprehensive High serves approximately 1,511 students in grades 9-12 in York, SC, as part of the York 01 district, and is currently ranked in the bottom third of high schools statewide.

Parents considering this school should be aware of several significant challenges. Academic proficiency on state tests lags well behind nearby schools. For example, Algebra 1 proficiency is just 29.8%, compared to 87.8% at Northwestern High and 56.4% at South Pointe High. English 1 proficiency is 42.1%, versus 65.2% at Northwestern and 66.1% at South Pointe. The school also struggles with chronic absenteeism—31.6% of students miss significant school time, which is nearly triple the rate at Fort Mill High (11.3%). The graduation rate dropped sharply from 93.9% to 83.9% in one year, and it has fluctuated between 80.9% and 93.9% over the past four years. This instability is concerning when compared to Nation Ford High and Catawba Ridge High, which maintain graduation rates above 93%.

There are some bright spots. English 2 proficiency (77.4%) is close to the state average, and the school's Gifted and Talented students perform reasonably well. However, the overall trajectory is troubling—the school has fallen from the 63rd percentile in 2015-2016 to the 27th percentile today. Even Clover High, just 6.2 miles away, achieves a 4-star rating and 93.8% graduation rate. The school spends $14,660 per student—more than several higher-performing nearby schools—yet outcomes don't reflect that investment. For parents, the most pressing concerns are attendance, math proficiency, and graduation stability, all of which suggest the school needs significant intervention to reverse its decade-long decline.
