What I love most about going to YMS is that they have fantastic music programs and the teachers teach very well in those. The reason why I didn't give 5 stars is that school starts VERY early I have to wake up before six and ride the bus in the dark. I have had no issues with bullying or harassment or even seen it. Teachers are very nice here and none give homework in seventh grade but I easily have an A in all of my classes. I recommend!

I have attended Yorkville all my life and in the years of 2019 to present it has been going down hill. Sadly in the recent years there has a HUGE increase of students doing drugs selling drugs vaping you name it the school is seeing it. After months of seeing it and hiding from parents they finally do something’s that didn’t even help they gave students hall-passes (also because of the skipping class issue) and it has been a TOTAL FAIL along with them making students use there ID to enter school campus which isn’t helping. Yorkville as I said has a very very big skipping issue because the school has no idea what to do they give detentions kids don’t show up they are doing things to try and make it better but not after months and months of it continuing. The teachers at Yorkville is say are decent but just like administration they are oblivious of what’s going on yes they teach and a decent amount are nice but on the other hand there are some that just seem to not care. Again the school is afraid to take action at Yorkville aggressive tensions are high especially in the 4th quarter and also during parts of football season and also in certain parts of the school mostly during passing periods and a free period we have 2 times a week and there have not been a big amount of fights this year but there was one sending a student to the hospital after being stabbed after a fight that had over 4-5 people involved. Like it or not Yorkville especially school’s middle school and up crime and illegal things are happening and especially at the high school there is one 1 officer on campus and both times there have been fights he was not there until after the fight had started it was a teacher there first the school needs more security we need to take bigger measures. Ive seen gangs have also seemed to be on the rise a little bit after a lot of people moving to the suburbs from the inner city I have seen activity from Gangster disciple clicks to Latin kings these are smaller clicks but are still a threat to peace at YHS. But in all honest Yorkville reminds me of a prison sometimes when it come to friend groups clicks you name it you join a group you stay with that group. And honestly a lot of groups are different you have a emo click you have athletes, nerd click then just a regular group of friends but some groups have seemed to be slit by race there is one group that has a lot of African American another white and another Hispanic this is not really bad but still.

Stay away from Yorkville schools especially Bristol Bay Elementary school. My oldest is in 6th grade and has an IEP for dyslexia they don't care that since moving here her reading scores have dropped, a lot. Mostly because the teacher don't do much. Most if not all learning is computer based so the teachers dont have to do much teaching. They have a program called lexia my daugher because of her disability cant keep up with them program throwing words are her quickly but they expect her to. As for my son. Her is bored most of the day her gets his work done first and has nothing to do but they wont challenge him. I would NEVER recommend this school to ANYONE EVER!! Teachers here are lazy and they dont honestly care if you children learn the just pass them along. Time to get rid of computer use in schools all day and make teachers actually teach again. If you are thinking about moving to Yorkville with kids DONT!
