Yucca Loma Elementary School
Yucca Loma Elementary School is all about the students' success. There, the students are taught to be Peace Builders, doing things like praising people, noticing hurts, seeking wise people, and giving up put downs. This is intertwined with a good education and preparing for good test scores. The afterschool program helps students get thier homework done and takes time to review the basics in Language Arts and Math while incorporating physical activities. The staff is awesome and I would recommend this elementary school to any parent looking for a good education for thier kids and a safe place that also teaches morals.
