You're either getting better or you're getting worse

Here at York Public Schools we're proud of our rich tradition but also understand that we must continue to work hard. We need to improve in each and every area imaginable. That is the name of the game. You're either pushing the envelope to get better or you're falling behind.

During the Fall of 2010, 69% of our students were "proficient" on the first ever Nebraska State Accountability Reading Assessment. After a year's worth of hard work, focused efforts in all buildings, etc. the percentage of York Dukes that performed at the proficient level on this state test rose to 78.6%! Look for this figure to continue to increase. We take a lot of pride in what we're doing and how we do it.

I'm proud of the talented students and staff we have here at YPS. Go Dukes!
