One thing I would love to care change is the bullying policies. So many people are bullied but nothing is done. It's sad to hear about how the schools in Yarmouth are so about helping others but once something actually happens they try and hide it to look good. Even though there are bad experiences one of my best experiences here is definitely meeting all the friends I have now and being able to join whatever sports team I wanted. I have been given so many opportunities here at Yarmouth that have helped with the outside world.

I think that YHS is a great school with dedicated and intelligent staff. I have the need for several accommodations based on my medical disability that were a struggle to get and were generally inaccessible to me. I would love to see more support and transparency with the support options and an effort to support students who demonstrate need even if they are doing well academically. Students should not have to fail to get help.

While the academics are undeniably some of the best in the state, the social atmosphere is awful. Very cliquey, and almost everyone is judgmental.
