York Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Wake County Schools school district, located in Raleigh, NC with about 459 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.

With about 29 teachers, York Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
