Yates High School

This school is horrible. Starting from the principle on down. There is no communication with the parents. The staff is there to collect a check and are not there for the psychological, emotional well being of the students.

Disappointed. I do not know who to trust. There are elephants in the room, and no one says anything. A situation exists with some students and parents drawing other students into risky behavior. Am still reeling that these people are involved in extra curricula activities.

Yates is a great school for my child because her needs are being met. Her self esteem has improved tremendously. I transferred my child from a supposedly top rate magnet campus. Unfortunately some of the teachers at that campus did not teach. They bullied or ignored students that could not be successful due to their teaching style.

Historic landmark in Houston, TX. Located on the brink of downtown in the Infamous Third Ward Community. The area is developing and will be an outstanding place for youth to get real world experience. Yates has sent students to various parts of the country for college (e.g Texas A&M, University of Texas, Oklahoma University, Oregon, UMass, UTSA, Howard University, and to their neighboring colleges University of Houston and Texas Southern University.
