I have three children, one has graduated and the other two still go to Young. You can talk to the teachers and they give you help on how you can help your children at home. The principal and assistant principal always makes their self available if you need to talk and they are really nice. I was worried last year when my child came home and talked about how bad recesswas. how kids were fighting but now she has fun she loves recess. the school is getting better and better every year. They have fun activities for the kids, they have a saturday program for the grown ups and the kids. When you walk in the school everybody smiles and says hello. My children are learning and my daughter that graduated is doing well in high school. I thank the teachers at Ella Flagg Young for getting her ready. After school all the staff members are outside making sure everyone gets home. When you come to this school you feel like you are at home with family. I love Young School!!
