I have spend seven years at YWA (middle school and high school), and I wouldn't change it for the world. I have made friends for a lifetime, and have connected with my teachers in a way that I most definitely could not have in a larger school. Although the classes tend to be hit-or-miss, I feel that I can always have someone to aid me if I am experiencing difficulties academically.

My overall experience with Young Women's Academy has been amazing ever since I joined this school in sixth grade and now being a junior has always been fun and I feel like this school has prepared me for so much. Some things that maybe could change is the way the school organizes events and other things because the students as well as the teachers are lost sometimes but other than that everything else is amazing and a very good experience.

My experience at Young Women's Steam Research & Preparatory Academy has been an amazing one because it's a small school which means I get to be more unblocked in school activities and makes it easier for me to know my teachers and for them to know me. Something I would change would be the students participation at school because not many girls like going to school events or getting involved.

The head principal is incredible. She is professional and passionate and sets a g...

My sister went here for the 2st semester. Administration is very rude. counselors are not good at communicating with students and make them feel as if their doing something wrong without proper evidence. When you walk around the school children are running around everywhere hanging out with teachers...

My daughter attends since she was in middle school, she is now in high school. The school has a small school feel without the private school cost. The teachers are great, they participate in projects that connect our students to their community. I have seen my daughter transform into a strong, confi...

Overall I find the academic progress thus far less than I had expected. My daughter exceeded grade level in math her last year of elementary school. Her first year at YWA she got approaches grade level on the STARR. What was really disturbing about this was that her grade in math was an A, this rais...
