York Chester Middle School
York Chester Middle School was one of two schools to earn a 100 score for academic growth in 2024-2025.
Way to go … we did it!
York Chester is one of only two schools in Gaston County (Highland School of Technology is the other one) to achieve a perfect 100 score for academic growth in 2024-2025. This means we exceeded our academic growth expectations, thanks to the outstanding efforts of our students, teachers, staff, and parents.
Providing care for students at school
Thanks to our partnership with Kintegra Health, we offer a telehealth clinic here at our school. Students, who are experiencing a minor illness or condition, can be seen by a medical provider virtually. This allows us to provide care for students without them having to leave school to go to the doctor.
