The staff is very bright and they implement the rules very well. There are some teachers that don't want to do anything, however the good ones outweigh the bad and you can always count on at least 5 teachers there to help tutor you, encourage you, and be your friend. When you first arrive, the staff makes it and easy adjustment from 1 teacher to 7. Overall, I had fun at Yucca, but we need a longer lunch. Studies have shown that students perform better when they are given time to relax and get away from academics. Currently, the lunches only last 30 minutes each, but I think students need more like 45. As a result Yucca is a great place for your kids.

I think a lot of teachers now teach straight from the book and the students are forced to self teach themselves. There are not many teachers that know how to give the information in multiple ways so every student in the classroom can understand it.

He was a straight A student in elementa...

Horrible experience. My son, a straight A student, was bullied and was threatened. He became depressed and had anxiety. He made a cry for help and that was taken the wrong way. Instead of understanding the situation and trying to help him they expelled him and he ended up in a mental health hospital...

9 out of 10. Everyone is very helpful. Most teachers try to learn everyone's names so they can be a mentor as well as a teacher.
