Marya Yates Elementary School was the best school I attended. The school have nice teachers and a support system when kids are in need of special attention or going through things. The best part of the school is the way kids would treat each other with respect and love. I enjoyed every part of the school. The learning process was very helpful. The teachers were very open minded about helping kids that couldn't get the information as fast as some others. They helped you with some skills you didn't have before.

With the new principal in place this year and last this school have improved tremendously. I have a son with ASD and this is the first school he has attended that made him feel welcomed . They have also helped him achieve a lot of his goals in his IEP.

I rate it a two because other schools can access their children work via the internet. Having access to my child’s homework & school work via the internet would allow one to see daily where their child stand in class. It would also keep parents alert on whether their child is falling behind. Parents...
