Success Continues at NYHS




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.
