Yelm High School 12

I used to attend yelm high school, and overall, the environment is not the best, some of the teachers are awesome, but overall it has too much going on. The girls attending their are more involved with drama and their own personal lives and it becomes a huge distraction listening to problems instead of you teacher. Extension school is a way better school.

I am a senior for the 2008-2009 school year. I think this school does all it can to help its studants achieve greatness in an interesting fashion. Personaly the teachers I have bean lucky enough to know are fun and know how to connect with studant. Even the studants who attend are cool. Everybody mixes in with each other and everyone no matter what thier style gets along fairly well.

I am currently a senior at Yelm High School and I have to say, I really enjoyed my time at the institution. The new buildings are great, and the staff is (for the most part) very willing to assist you with any of your problems. The curriculum is not quite as challenging as I would sometimes like, but it is not a slacker school by any means. This school is definitely better than nearby schools. Not to mention the sports programs at Yelm are great, and the coaches are top of the line.

Most of the staff is bias based on their 'relationships' with students. Although this is not true with all the staff, actual teachers that treat students equally and staff that are completely unbias are hard to come across.

I entered this school in March 2006, coming from Northern Virginia. The school curriculum is an absolute disgrace. I am so far ahead of everyone at the school, I haven't learned anything new since I got here, and the environment was not welcoming at all once i arrived. If what people say is true [that this is one of the better schools in the state] then maybe Washington State needs to rethink the way it's running its school systems.

I use to be a student at Yelm High School until this year when I move out of state due to a parents job. The teachers are great and love to help out students. The students are great. Every one is friends with everyone. FFA is awesome. FFA teachers are great, especially Mr. Mounts & Mrs. Perry & Mr. Patrick! Some other cool teachers are Mr. Krup & Mr. Burgh. You are super lucky if you get a class with one of these guys. Go Tornados!

i think yelm is one of the better schools in the state we may not have the best test scores but that should change this year with the school going to a 10 through 12 grade level and the bigger school and more teachers

This school is wonderful in many areas, but alos lacking quality in many areas. But, then again, what school isn't? My daughter tells me that the kids are nice, and that there are never many amjor issues. The classes are funa dn many of her teachers are helpful and help earn her interest in the subject they are teaching.

I used to be a student at YHS and I must say that it was a great school. I am now enrolled at the Home Schooling program that YHS offers, and it is excellent as well. I enjoy the teachers, and they are always there when you need them. The principal could be a little more 'there' for the kids and such, but that is just something that will have to be worked on. Everyone I know loves the school and the parents like it too. Notable teachers are...Mrs.Threlkeld, MR.MOUNTS (especially), Mr. McClellan (jefe), and Ms. Adams. They all strived for the best in their students and in me as a person. They all worked with the people who needed help and gave them what they needed to succeed. Thanks guys so much. YHS has it's share of issues, but all schools do. Thanks for inspiring me to do my best.
