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.

My experiences with Yarmouth High School have been very good, I love the teachers and the music environment. As a senior who has attended YHS all 4 years, I can definitely defend the amazing qualities of this school. I am sad to leave but they have repaired me well to go off to college. I think something I would like to see change at YHS would be diversity, I believe school environments should be incredibly inclusive and not allow ANY bullying including bullying based on identity or race.

I moved to this district last November, at the beginning of my junior year. Everyone was so welcoming and the guidance counselors helped to ensure that I got all of the classes that I really wanted to take. They have THE MOST AMAZING theatre program and they are currently the state champs for the One Act festival.
