I had a great experience going there, one of the worst things was when a teacher was like "oh you're graduating" then tried to play it off as if she forgot what year I was graduating when she knew exactly what class I was apart of, all because I was going through a lot my freshman year .

My experience at Yucaipa highschool has been alright. I transferred in the middle of my junior year and had a culture shock. There is not much diversity. However the teachers were welcoming and created a good environment. The food is great.
