Nelsonville-York High School has
had an award winning year for the third year in a row. In April of 2013, the
high school was honored by US News and World Report as Bronze Medal School.
This award was followed by being recognized as an Ohio School of Promise in the
fall of 2013 and 2014. For the 2014 award, Nelsonville-York High School was one
of 42 high schools recognized in the state. A school earns this honor by having
A’s and B’s in all state report card areas, by having at least 40 percent of
its students classified as economically disadvantaged and by earning at least
80 percent proficiency rate on the reading and math Ohio Graduation Tests for
all students and economically disadvantaged students.
In addition to those awards,
Nelsonville-York High School scored 100 percent in the category of Annual
Measureable Objectives which answers the question, is every student succeeding,
regardless of income, race, ethnicity, or disability? Also this past fall, the
school and staff was honored by State Representative Debbie Phillips at a
school board meeting for earning the 2014 School of Promise distinction and
received a letter from the Ohio Senate as well. None of this well-deserved
recognition could have been accomplished without the dedicated teachers of
Nelsonville-York High School. This group of educators has worked diligently
towards making every student successful and that effort is being noticed at the
local, state and national level.
