I'm not sure all of these would be classed as YA. Cormac McCarthy's The Road with it's graphic cannibalism for example. A Clockwork Orange with it's rapes. And while Lord of the Flies is certainly classed as YA it's neither SF or a dystopia.,

I tend to agree, and didn't see a tag which labeled it specifically YA. We certainly read a lot of Dystopia when I was in school (Brave New World, 1984, Lord of the Flies, and Fahrenheit 451) and I will keep my eye out for a YA list.
