School Reviews5 10/10/2025I have done a lot of research about this school and know almost all of the 50s-2016 and must say, I DO NOT agree with any of the new technology that has taken over this small school over the years. I do not think that the school board is properly selected for dealing with children and/or solving problems. They are also poor choices if you wish to keep confidentiality. These are just my views and did not post this to influence any decisions made. Thank you.Review Yaak School. Reviews should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
