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 attended YWLA and when I tell you there were soo many fights and problems. Each week a fight would take place towards the end of the school year. The teachers are either really strict to the point they don’t let you go to the restroom for more than 5 minutes without calling the office or hand you...

My twin girls attend this school. Nothing is perfect, but they do address issues adequately. I truly see my girls growing academically, and the teachers here love what they do. There are not enough words to explain how much this school has done for my daughters! Keep up the great work!

School is decent kids are mean and look down on people. Teachers only care about how the "cool kids" grades are if other kids don't understand the material they don't care they don't bother trying.
