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 didn't really care for the school, so I moved over to the Academy of College and Career Excellence.

I've had some really great teachers at Yucca High. Some of my favorite ones have been a key part in my life, preparing me not just for college but for life. Despite being a really small school, there are many different things to try. Just like every school I have had some unappealing teachers. But, the good outweighs the bad.

I personally got a good education, especially through the dual-enrollment courses I took. Some teachers could learn a better way of teaching to students but other than that, learning isn't too difficult.

I have no idea how it is nowadays, but even in the 90s it wasn't too great. I attended most of my high school years here and I wanted to leave in 10th due to bullying and some other stuff going on at the time. I stuck it out (still had the same bully for 2 more years) . I had a great group of friend...

School is extremely rude, homophobic, and racist. Staff are disrespectful to their students and belittle them. Same with the students. I’m this school color is what decides your status.
