It was a good experience but there could have been better everything. I kept myself busy with ASB and academics most of the teachers I had were very good and some were not but you get that with every school. Overall myhighschool experience was good!

It had good opportunities to play different sports and some excellent teachers and some poorer ones. Ultimately I did not feel safe there unfortunately though there are many fights!

The best parts of Yucca Valley High School are the variety of classes that you can take. Some classes arent available to others and some are too advanced for people that might want to take them. The worst parts would be the student respect and responsibility. No one takes accountability and every one always wants to start problems.

I had a great group of friend...
