Two YCSD Schools Listed Among Nations Best

Two York County School Division high schools made The Washington Post's annual list of the top public high schools in the country. Of the 1,900 schools listed, Bruton High School was ranked 501 and York High School was ranked 517 nationally. Only two other peninsula area high schools were recognized on the list.

The High School Challenge Index uses the number of Advanced Placement (AP) and/or International Baccalaureate (IB) tests taken by students at individual schools during the 2011-2012 school year divided by the school's total number of graduates, to rank schools. The Washington Post considers the formula as a measure of student readiness for college.
