I've gone to youngker my whole 4 years and I believe that it is a pretty good school where the teachers are all pretty nice and the students are nice. Obviously it's not perfect but it's decent for Arizona.

Transferring to Youngker High School in early October was initially daunting, but the experience has been fantastic. The staff's support made my transition smooth, always being available for guidance and assistance. The school's modern facilities and diverse student body have made it easy to adjust and find my place.

My freshman year I was new to Buckeye, but the teachers during my freshman year were welcoming understanding and always helpful and now that I'm a senior, I always go back to two of my freshman year teachers just because I'm more comfortable and I see them like a friend and a auntie I feel safe I feel I can be myself around them and I have a good support team when it comes to them. All the students I have met are very mixed. It's not hard to find the people you fit in with. It's really easy to talk to the teachers and for them to understand when you have an IEP or something else going on. The school counselors are amazing, gear up. I love gear up because it helped me prepare for my future that I was not ready for and now I'm really ready to go into college knowing that I have a great support team my freshman year with them.

Our child is a freshman this year and everything so far with school has been great. Teachers have been engaging with both the student and us. Coaches have been great mentors so far emphasizing not just the sport but school work and being good people while representing our community. Most importantly...
