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 school severely lacked good after school and extracurricular programs. The teachers also were very unprepared as well.

Yes Prep is a good school when it comes to education, and is average when it comes to others topics. Sports wise, Yes prep does not have a big enough gym to play sports in ad will have to go to another gym for best practice. Outside sports are well off. Another topic would be the cafeteria food, i personally aid not like it, and i heard worse comments from other students.

The teachers are great but office staff is bad. Every time I call no one answers and I have to leave a message and no one ever calls me back. They need to hire a person who is going to answer the phones.
