Both of my daughters attended William Yates and left well prepared for Middle School. The teachers were amazing and the nurses did a great job taking care of the medical needs of my oldest daughter.

William Yates Elementary-- deserves 10 gold stars!! My kindergartner has been thrilled since day 1. We had considered moving, however believe we will now purchase the rental we are in, simply because we do not want to leave this school.
