Summary:

The York County Public Schools district in Virginia consists of 19 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 5 high schools. The district is highly ranked, with an overall rating of 5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger and a state ranking of 5 out of 130 districts in Virginia.

Several schools stand out in the district, including Grafton High and Tabb High, which are consistently ranked among the top high schools in Virginia. At the elementary level, Tabb Elementary and Mount Vernon Elementary are top performers, with high proficiency rates across core subjects. The district's middle schools show more variation in performance, with Tabb Middle and Queens Lake Middle leading the pack.

The district also has two magnet/charter schools, Yorktown Elementary and York River Academy, which show mixed results. Overall, the York County Public Schools district is a high-performing system with several standout schools, but also some areas for improvement, particularly in addressing achievement gaps and ensuring more consistent performance across all schools and grade levels.
