Glass half full: Voter turnout increased slightly between 1998 and the 2002 elections. Half empty: Less than half of the county&#8217;s registered voters cast ballots in each election.<br \/>\nOne graphic in the YorkCounts list continues to fascinate: According to 2000 census figures, one out of five York countians does not hold a high school diploma. The numbers in all regions of the county are up since 1990&#8230; .<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nHistory plays on these numbers in at least two ways: First, York County led the state in one-room schools before World War II. Many students in those schools never graduated. Secondly, York had segregated elementary schools until 1954. Some students did not bother to go on to the integrated William Penn High School after the eighth grade.<br \/>\nIf YorkCounts keeps updating these indicators, they&#8217;ll build a valuable historical record easily accessible to future generations. These numbers are part of the public record, but YorkCounts has made them handy.<br \/>\nFor those trying to understand York County, take a second and scan the graphics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YorkCounts&#8217;
