Yuma High teachers generally support the students some more than others (Brown, Gastelum, and Lozano are the best). Some teachers need to be on their way out and it shows. CTE programs are a need to participate in. The culinary class is amazing. I would take it all 4 years if possible. I would recom
Posted by a parent on 1/30/2025I only went here for TWO SCHOOL YEARS. There is only a handful of teachers that actually do their job in helping the students learn. Most of the administrators act like children, and the security guards refuse to do their job correctly. There is a lot of favoritism when it comes to the students. Mor
Posted by a community member on 6/10/2023Overall, not much to say other than that the teachers and councilors are great. I've been around campus—students aren't very engaged with what they're learning. A plethora of reasons can be given to explain why. One being is that the majority of the students come from Hispanic orgins. Families can b
Posted by a community member on 4/11/2023Overall the academic experience could be much better too bad the teachers are forced to allow students to pass their class even though they don’t meet the minimum requirements. This is something that isn’t just happening at this high school but all the high schools in Yuma County. Teachers are force
Posted by a parent on 6/15/2021This school practically spoon feeds education to their students. I was a former student at YHS, then moved to phoenix to go to college and let me say, that YHS was no where close in preparring me for college. They dont care if you failed a class, if you failed it, you take A+ (online courses) and yo

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAbsolutely unacceptable and heartbreaking experience. Bullying is rampant at Crane Schools, and nothing is being done to stop it. My child was left with visible, repeated injuries due to bullying, and despite multiple complaints, the teachers and the principal showed little to no concern. The principal promised to schedule a meeting to address the issue—months later, we’re still waiting.The staff constantly targets my child, blaming them instead of holding the real aggressors accountable. The school operates on what feels like the lowest budget imaginable, and it clearly shows in the lack of training, structure, and basic child safety. Children are left unsupervised before and after school, and I’ve personally witnessed older students hitting and harassing younger ones without any adult intervention.The neglect and lack of response from the district is just as disturbing. I’ve documented a significant amount of evidence showing clear negligence and unsafe conditions—this school should be investigated. No child should be made to feel unsafe at school, and no parent should be ignored when pleading for help.Do not send your child here. Their safety, education, and well-being are not a priority.Parent Review1y ago - Alice Byrne Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBased on my experience, I would advise against sending your child to that school. The principal's behavior is concerning, and the staff seems to be ineffective in addressing bullying. My child was not receiving the support he needed, and I had to take matters into my own hands. After transferring him to a new school, he's flourished. He's more confident and happy, and I attribute that to the school's supportive environment. I think parents should prioritize their child's well-being and consider alternative options. The school's environment and staff's behavior are not conducive to a positive learning experience.Parent Review1mo ago - Pecan Grove Elementary School
