I am not overjoyed with this school to say the least. I find the lack of communication appauling between the staff at Young and the parents. My daughter is a 504 student and I find the lack of concern for her educational needs quite upsetting. The teachers were instructed where she was to sit in each

The teachers do not seem to go out of their way to keep the parents informed when they notice a problem arising with dropping grades but alow us to wait for a progress report to be given to us if we are lucky enough to get it or find it.

Read more teachers as well as the office staff on several occasions to see what we can do to move my child in the right direction academically and I was discouraged at the lack of positive attitudes and willingness to work with a child with problems. As a parent, I felt beaten down. I can just imagine how my child feels having to go there every day. All the teachers did in the last meeting was state how they all have too many students. How sad for all of us! Read less

Young Junior High is a fairly good school academically from our experience. Most of the teachers were good educators, knowledgable and applied good teaching methods; especially in the English field. Although, we did experience a math teacher that was unable to communicate effectively and an art teacher

There is very little communication with the parents - in fact parent participation seemed to be considered a nuisance. It was very unorganized, lacked leadership and, quite frankly, all but one or two of the coaches possessed a negative attitude which flowed through to the girls. Read less

I think that Young Junior High is a great school. The teachers there are highly certified. The teachers are nice there. They help us out with all of our problems, in and out of school. At first I didn't want to go to Young but when I got to know the teachers, I changed my thought of how it would be.
