Education in Yorktown
Yorktown public and private schools have received the highest state ratings. The school system was listed in New York Times "Best Schools" and the national AP Honor Roll, and this past year it was selected as a Presidential Blue Ribbon School. The system continues to excel as a state leader in technology and use and provides extracurricular activities for students ranging from band and drama to championship winning athletic programs. A reflection of the stellar performance is the number of transfer students who seek to attend Yorktown Community Schools.
