Senior: Yuma Catholic High School is a great school that appreciates all its students. They offer scholarships and have great resources for students to prepare for college. The counselors in this school are extremely reliable and will help you with anything you may need. Their staff are all with great experience on their subject and truly show passion when they are teaching. The school also focuses on their spirit by having the student council host pep rallies and students can be extremely supportive during sporting events. Another thing this school prioritizes is the students’ involvement in their community. For that reason they are required a certain amount of service hours in order to graduate in order to learn about independence and organization. Throughout the four years I have been in this school, I had a great experience and met some of the most wonderful people that I have ever met. I am so grateful of being able to attend this school, and definitely would suggest is to others about it... Read 100 reviews

Niche User: The amazing Gowan science academy has so much to offer. However, there are a few cons. One, their message of being the change, is stolen from desert view academy, right across the street. Also, they don’t offer a mandatory class in music, only instruments, some kids like music, but don’t like to do instruments. Same thing with art. They offer it in class, but don’t have a class where students fully express their creativity. Over all I would highly recommend this school, even if there are a few bad parts... Read 1 review

Alum: I went through the online Carpe Diem program and it is one of the best put together online programs i have seen available. The recorded lectures are very concise and packed full of information. The teachers are always available to answer questions or help with any technical problems that arise.... Read 31 reviews

Alum: Being here at this school might've been the best years of my life. Growing up, there weren't many students in a class so gradually we became family. In my 6th and final year at Amerischools Academy South, we were only 13 in total and it was amazing because the teachers did care about us.... Read 1 review

Senior: At first, I had to think about how many stars to rate this school. Cibola is the only high school I have been to, so it is difficult to measure it against other high schools because I have not attended them. However, after much thought, I concluded that I have nothing to complain about. The teachers, the education, the counselors, the staff, and everyone else who/what makes up Cibola, make me proud to graduate from there!... Read 524 reviews

Alum: While attending Centennial Middle School, I was actively involved in clubs and many after school activities. One of the best programs that I participated in while attending the middle school was the opportunity to walk to the elementary school across the street and TA for an elementary school teacher daily for the entire school year. This experience allowed me to gain public speaking skills, time management, class room management, self discipline/discipline of others, and overall confidence in my existing and newly learned skills. These skills have assisted me throughout my entire high school career and have allowed many doors to open in order for me to expand my resumes and learning experiences.... Read 1 review

Senior: As a current senior at Gila Ridge Highschool, I can say that this school has made me feel understood and protected for the four years I have spent here. Though I did spend my first two years almost completely online, the school did a fantastic job of making sure that each and every student would still engage with school and academics. As you come onto the campus, you'll see the true beauty that this school holds. Gila Ridge offers a wide range of academics starting with your normal high school classes to honor classes, AP classes, and even dual enrollment classes for those who want to get a head start on college! Every teacher that I have had at this school has kept me on task and has shown that they teach with a purpose. Gila ridge offers a variety of sports, clubs, and organizations. For my four years of learning here, I have never felt unsafe at one point, (as we do have many security guards here looking out for each student.) I recommend Gila ridge to upcoming freshman in Yuma!... Read 590 reviews

  Rating 3.44 out of 5  59 reviews

Alum: Since Antelope is a really small high school, you get to know most of the students there, you also get the chance to get involved in school activities such as clubs, sports, and other school events. Also, during the time I was there, I noticed that there was not any kind of bullying there, everybody was friends with everybody, it was like a big family. What I like the most during school events is the spirit week, they do this at least twice a year. I like the fact that every day there is a different concept. When it comes to classes, the teachers try to get you involved in a very single way to the class conversation, trust me you will end up talking for at least 10 minutes.... Read 59 reviews
