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.

YES Prep Southwest has helped me throughout my school year by helping me reach college readiness since I was in 6 grade in my current year which is the senior year. The festivities at Southwest are enjoyable for high school and middle school students and the amount of support parents get is outstanding there are Spanish speaker staff that can help parents with concerns.

Overall, Yes Prep Southwest is a good campus that allows students to have a higher chance of going to college. I say this because they will not allow you to walk the stage without enrolling into a college.

The school provides many resources and opportunities for students to improve on their skills and academics. Along this benefit, they have many extracurriculars that help create school spirit through clubs and sports. What could be improved is the mental health resources provided for student. They lack the proper execution on how to meet with the mental health needs of students.
