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.

John Yeates Middle School is a perfectly average school. What needs to change the most is the school size and removing the rooms in mobiles. Those were an absolute pain when you had a project due (ex: a model of the solar system) and it was raining, below freezing, or windy. When I was a sixth-grader, I had 2/7 classes indoors, and the gym was usually the temperature outside.

This is the most unorganized school with horrible teachers. My child has an IEP that is never implemented and the policy on bullying isn't implemented. My son is doing terrible despite all our meetings, emails and conferences with the school
