This article has several problems that an individual who wished to do a little research could rectify. York Center originally had a one room school house east of Meyer's road, in the section often referred to as "Old York Center," which was supplanted by the York Center Elementary School near the intersection of 14th St. and School St., to the west of Meyer's Road. This elementary school was expanded around 1965 or 1966. The Ethel Stevenson school was built later, in part to accommodate the influx of people into the new Brandywine townhouse development to the immediate east of York Center, in Villa Park. In the mid sixties York Center also gained another school, namely Montini High School, a Catholic school on 16th St, which is the northern border of the Congress Knolls subdivision, and development that was built in the late 50's and/or early 60's. As the York Center Community Cooperative (YCCC) has never constituted either a majority of the geographical area of York Center, nor a majority of the population, it is given a disproportionately large section of the article. The section on the YCCC would be better spun off as its own separate article, with a link embedded in a brief paragraph in the York Center article. The article is in error in stating that Louis Shirkey was a resident of the York Center Community Cooperative. He never resided in the Cooperative. The article also omits that the York Center Community Cooperative was dissolved by court order due to long term malfeasance of the YCCC board, and is no longer in existence.˜˜˜˜ JonesforWiki — Preceding unsigned comment added by JonesforWiki (talkcontribs) 02:00, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
