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.

Yates is an amazing school. The staff is awesome and treat us more like family. My daughter has certain issues and they have been amazing how they treat her and all kids. I strongly recommend this school to all parents. They are all extremely sweet and friendly.
