If you're a good student, then you can make good grades easily. I feel like there aren't enough teachers that challenge and push their students to their full potential, but some are great. Many of the kids are uninspired and don't take pride in the school. I think that we should add more things to the school, like more languages, teachers, and electives. If the school spirit were boosted, then it would be a whole lot better.

Yulee High School is a pretty good school if u want ure kids to fit in with other kids real easy. since yulee's not to big, when a new kid comes into town all the other kids wants to get to know them. as for the grades, really all u gotta do is know the teachers. if your a good kid an you do most of the work then you can pretty much get a good grade (only because the teachers-most of the time-feel pitty. but some other teachers are pretty strickt, so kids watch out. there is not to many activities to chose from, but its the average stuff. band, football, vollyball, b-ball, golf, swimming, etc. but all in all i had fun at this school my grades where good and i like most of the teachers. its a good school and im going to miss it next year :)

What an awesome school Yulee High School is. The teachers are eager to teach students, and have came up with many ideas to add interest into the students environment. As with any school, many students struggle passing the FCAT. I realize this is the reason for the 'D' rating the school received. But, I believe it is not from lack of educating the students, but test anxiety perhaps. YHS is an awesome school, and I am proud to say that I have a graduate from FBHS, but also will have a graduate from YHS in 2010. Both of whom, were honor students.

About the tests


Florida uses School Grades to measure the overall performance of a school each year on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT). Each school is assigned a letter grade (A-F) based on three criteria: the overall performance on the FCAT, the percentage of eligible students who took the test, and whether or not students made progress in reading and math. The School Grades are calculated by adding points earned from each of the performance criteria listed above.
