The elementary years at YMA offer fabulous teachers and a great education. Students are offered “after school” classes to prepare for state exams, Middle school is good but has room for improvement. High school students are given every opportunity to learn, if they don’t then that’s on them! Relationships between students and teachers is very strong which really helps drive and encourage students to do their best. Sports are an integral part of the school. Students have the opportunity to play soccer, basketball, baseball, or swim these are just to mention the most common sports. Too many kids are bused in from other neighborhoods, there are enough children in the neighborhood that should be placed in YMA, instead they are put on buses to other schools. Not sure how that makes sense for a district that is constantly trying to save money

It is the worst school. If you are considering putting your child there, please don't.

One of the worst schools in the UK most probably. My daughter has been attending this school since Reception and the biggest mistake I did was send her to secondary school here. She is now approaching Year 10 and the level of education is appalling. On top of this, the school has been given a Requires Improvement by Ofsted.Extremely high staff turnover and even the Head teacher has left and she was only in the school for 1 year!No homework, no support from any of the teachers.The teachers don't test the student's understanding before moving on to the next subject.Student's lack motivation coming here. Newham needs to see what is going on in this school and do something ASAP.So many unhappy parents and unhappy students.School doesn't listen to our thoughts. Everything gets swept under the carpet.No way on earth would I recommend this school.
