Schools in York County

About schools in York County

Twenty districts and 111 ranked public schools make York County one of Pennsylvania's more expansive educational landscapes, stretching from the city of York out through Hanover, Dover, and Red Lion. That breadth means families can compare meaningfully across very different communities and school cultures. Nineteen schools score in the top quartile statewide, with York Haven Elementary and Dallastown Elementary both reaching the 95th percentile, and York Suburban Senior High close behind at the 94th. Strength here is distributed rather than concentrated in one corner of the county, which rewards families willing to explore beyond the obvious options.
