I’ve noticed the only people that give this school a 5/5 star are the ones whose children have never been to any other school. This school is definitely behind compared to schools in the Midwest United States. There are no lap tops, nothing for gifted students to do, and the playground is from the 1960’s. I have begged for my gifted student to have extra homework/extra spelling words/extra anything for 2 years, and nothing has happened because he/she is too smart. Unfortunately, my student had sat at a desk for 2 years bored to death or has been student helper/secretary for the teacher/coffee runner for the teacher/etc. If you are coming from out of state look into homeschooling or Fernandina Beach elementary(at least they have art and most children come from parents who have college educations). The teachers and staff at YES have been nice, but when dealing with a gifted student nothing gets done.

I love this school. The teachers and therapists are dedicated and obviously care so much about helping our son, who has autism.

So, I just want to REALLY clarify the truth for you parents and everyone.Put simply, administrators do not care at all. If you're being bullied? Peer mediation. No punishment. I'm a male who was sexually assaulted as well as harassed at the school and they repeatedly refused to act on it, going as far to actually blame me for it. Then we throw in certain teachers who are absolutely rude and absent in their care for students. There are a few good teachers, granted mainly 8th grade teachers and ESE staff. But the actual administration are absolutely horrid and rude to their students with little regard.Please, please, for the hope of your very own children, do not send your children to ANY school in this district. They also are exactly the happiest when you transfer to home school either imo. It's like they only do this for funding.

I have NO clue why this school is receiving a 6/10 rating. My son attends this school. The reason that we bought a house in Yulee is because of the schools. Yulee High School is in fact an “A” rated school. The academics are excellent as are the teachers and entire staff. The school has a family type environment. Many of the students that I personally know are thriving. Most are definitely ready for a college environment to include curriculum. If anything, the assessment testing scores and student standing are most likely being lowered by the children that are shipped in from Duval County.
