The York County School Division

York County School Division Community

OUR COMMUNITY: York County is located in the Atlantic Coast's "urban crescent" on the beautiful Virginia peninsula. Situated midway between Richmond and Virginia Beach, the county's 56,297 residents help comprise the nation's 27th largest metropolitan area, commonly referred to as Hampton Roads.

The area is fortunate to have an expanding commercial and industrial base, while also enjoying affordable and plentiful housing and a moderate cost of living. As members of the dynamic Hampton Roads community, York County citizens have at their fingertips a wide variety of personal, professional and leisure opportunities.

A Money Magazine selection as one of the “Top 100” school divisions in towns you can afford, the York County School Division has a long history of excellence in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Students, staff and parents all work toward continued excellence in York County — we truly are a "Community of Learners...in a Great Community".
