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.

The best thing for me was the connection I had with some of the staff, they really impacted my life and motivated me to do better with my education. The worst was probably the way athletics shut down every assembly or activity idea so that I something I hope changed already. I hope the school has gained so much more school spirit because that is something the whole school lacked.Overall I really enjoyed being a Yuma High criminal.

I liked the caring staff. I would like to see more education and less kids graduating who can't read.

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...
