GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The teachers really care about the students. They have PE every day and a great music and art program. We have loved it there for the past couple of years. It really feels like a family. You can see the care the teachers have for the students.

I have had two children attend Yarbrough Elementary. They both received a high quality education by loving and dedicated teachers. I do not have anything negative to say about this school.

Horrible! Test scores are the primary concern. The teachers are unprepared to deal with the new Common Core standards. The students are not given any time to master one skill before another skill is taught. My child has an IQ that is well above average and recently received a "C" on his report card....

As an employee of ACS, I'm sad to say we really don't receive support from any of our superiors!
