Yuma Catholic High School does not care about your children. They claim to be faith-centered yet the are not. They will do anything for money even at the cost of your child’s future. The teachers are uneducated in some subjects and are not respectful. They do not accommodate medical conditions even with a doctors note. The counselor and staff do not offer emotional support to their students. I was sui-si-cid-Al at one point and they did not offered help. The principle is even worse she two faced pretends to be faith centered. Unfortunately, considering this is a catholic school it does not live up to its morals nor commitments. Their sports also lack Please do not waste your money nor time coming here.

The policy and the staff need more work and empathy

YC is a great school! There is a reason why a graduating class of approximately 70 seniors (2014) earned a total of about eight million dollars in scholarship money. That is more than all of the other Yuma high schools combined. Students graduate to go on to prestigious private and public colleges and universities--and they are at the top of their classes. In private schools, many parents who remove their children, do not having the necessary funds, thus, they feel embarrassed, and blame the school. YC is very Catholic. There has been a problem with very, very, self-righteous Catholic parents, whose children are just as self-righteous, highly arrogant, and socially dysfunctional. YC is a very welcoming and open community. Catholics and non-Catholics are welcome! The school is very Christ Centered and academically sound.

There are numerous reasons why this school is a sub-par learning center. As a student here, you'll probably notice the numerous typo's in this review. First of all, it's not safe. There are bored teachers, uncreative lesson plans, a swim team without a pool.. There are ways of working with shortcomings like these in a high school, but if the place isn't safe, that's a nonstarter. This isn't just for parents' peace of mind. Study after study has shown that concerns about safety at school have a significant affect on learning. If your local high school has a reputation for fight breaking out (or even bullying) there's no bigger warning sign. After all, if the principal can't ensure basic safety, it's likely that other priorities are going unmet too. The next thing we should address is the bad teaching. Teachers with these characteristics are prevalent at this school: They lack subject knowledge, they have poor classroom control, they act unprofessionally, they can't diagnose learning problems, they are obsessive about method, they focus on the wrong goals, or even have no goals at all. Finally, it's not a good school. Plain and simple.

We pulled our child out of YCHS after freshman year. This school has nothing Catholic about it except the name. As for academics I have heard from other parents from my child's class that their children were not prepared for college. I didn't feel that all students and families were treated equally. I would not recommend this high school. Our child finished at a public high school and is doing wonderfully in college. Don't waste your money save it for their higher education.
