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.

I feel Yankton High School has shaped me into the person I am today. The teachers there have influenced me to make the decisions I have and hopefully put me on a path to succeed in life. Lots of the teachers try to do their job to the best of their ability and really care about students and try to have a personal connection with them. I feel they really care about us not just as students but as people and want to see us succeed after we have graduated. Many teachers have had major impacts on me and inspired me to be like them and improve the world.

As a former student of Yankton High School I am happy with the schooling that I received from the school. They made sure I was ready for college and gave plenty of opportunities for scholarships. There were also a many activities that got students involved. Plus the were classes that interested many people like band, orchestra, pottery, welding, building trades, automotives, and more. Overall, Yankton High School is a great high school.
