Overall, I think that one of the best parts of going to Yuma high is that you are able to really get know your classmates and teachers, and since it's not very big you are able to get more attention and guidance whenever you are having trouble with a subject. The staff are also friendly. I feel like we need to do more as a school so that incoming freshmen can feel that school spirit and are proud to come to this school.

I had the best experience with you my high school district. They have been the best I have. I have had no issues in this Yuma high school district. They are the best when it comes to treating students the requirements and pushing them for them to be their best and beyond I honestly couldn't , complain about them they help my family a lot. I've been with them for a couple of years so have my siblings. I am honestly so appreciated with this district and I will be staying here until I graduate high school because they are really the best in my experience and opinion.

CTE programs are a need to participate in. The culinary class is amazing. I would take it all 4 years if possible. I would recom...

I only went here for TWO SCHOOL YEARS. There is only a handful of teachers that actually do their job in helping the students learn. Most of the administrators act like children, and the security guards refuse to do their job correctly. There is a lot of favoritism when it comes to the students. Mor...

Overall, not much to say other than that the teachers and councilors are great. I've been around campus—students aren't very engaged with what they're learning. A plethora of reasons can be given to explain why. One being is that the majority of the students come from Hispanic orgins. Families can b...

Overall the academic experience could be much better too bad the teachers are forced to allow students to pass their class even though they don’t meet the minimum requirements. This is something that isn’t just happening at this high school but all the high schools in Yuma County. Teachers are force...
