Overall, a 9.8 out of 10. I highly recommend YSES. It is clear the teachers are dedicated to making everyday, in the life of every student, the best day. We should ALL make a effort to thank teachers and staff often for their care of our children. They have one of the most challenging and life changing (for the child) jobs a human could have. Much of the work of teaching is done unpaid and behind the scenes. Teachers and staff show up everyday with a positive attitude, no matter how they feel, or what may be going on in their lives. They put the kids first. Have your child create a card or craft special for someone at school. Bring the teacher a surprise treat or chocolates. Let them know you care and appreciate the great energy and effort it takes every day to teach 28 kids.

The staff at YSES are the best! They are friendly, organized and are all around excellent teachers. Admin is professional and quick to assist with concerns (if you have any). The atmosphere is pleasant and inviting. Our experience has been great! I would rate YSES at a 9+.

Teachers are really informative and keep you engaged. They seem to have a genuine interest in your child.

My daughter has been here for kinder and 1st grade and I am very pleased with where she is at in her education. Her teacher is amazing and if I could package her up and share her with other schools I would!!! Mrs Hawk goes above and beyond expectations. She sees each child as an individual and guides them to be the best they can be. She nurtures their strengths and helps them work through their weaknesses. I could not have picked a better teacher!! The 1st grade team at YSES are just out of this world.

My son just completed the first grade and after two years at Yellow Springs Elementary we could not be more pleased with the school. Despite the age of the facility, the entire staff does a wonderful job with the kids. Parent involvement is huge and the school leadership really encourages parents to get involved. Around Frederick, Yellow Springs is jokingly refered to as the best kept secret in FCPS and as the "Private" public school for the quality of the education our kids recieve. I could not recommend it stronger for great teachers, great principal and great staff.
