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.

Please do not send your kids here. Especially if you love them. This is the absolute worst school. I was severely bullied for my sexuality, and my body and the administration did nothing about it. In 2018 the assistant principal yelled at me because I was asking for the time from a friend. Yes, verbally yelled at me. I would have to beg my mom to get me before the first period even started it was that bad. Your kids are better off not doing anything at all. I did not even learn anything in the 3 years I went. The teachers do not even make an effort. They would not even accommodate me and my learning disability. Crazy thing is, I lived in Hawaii prior to moving there. There was at least five times the kids. One teacher physically snatched my phone due to it being in my backpack and the screen lit up. I was not even on it. The students started hateful rumors. Once the office ended up going through my phone and found my notes app where I had written a lot of stuff about how bad I felt. It ended up going around the office, and finally it got out to the students. The buildings are even worse as I am 95% sure they have a cellular block. Perfect signal outside, but not inside. Granted this could be the building. This school has caused me so much trauma even in 2022 it still hurts. So, in summary, this school is very shady, and if you even have the single ounce of care in you, do not send them here.

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.
