York Early College Academy is an excellent program in my opinion. My daughter is doing excellent, its because of the good teachers they have. The Principal expects nothing but excellent work form her students. My daughter has a 93.20 average, which I'm proud of . She also has a perfect score on the City Math exam (780). She could not have done this without the teachers and principal. I would recommend anyone to this program, its the best. I have another daughter, who will enter middle school next year, and she's looking forward for this program.The only thing I don't like about this program is the Summer Academy, especially the hours. If I could change anything, I would have the summer program, but instead of 8:00-12:00, I would have regular school hours. So instead of one month, they have only two weeks. Its summer and its hot, kids need fun too.

The goal is for 90% of students to meet or exceed grade-level standards on the tests.
