YES Prep is a free, open-enrollment public school for students in 6th-12th grade. We are one of the top-performing public school systems in Houston and have earned Exemplary and Recognized ratings every year of operation. Graduates from YES have already been accepted to over 215 colleges and universities around the country like University of Texas, Texas A&M University, Stanford and Yale, and most of these students are the first in their family to go to college. Do you have what it takes to join the YES family?

  • Everyone at YES is committed to doing their very best, and they sign a contract to prove it!

  • YES teachers are committed to doing Whatever It Takes to help students succeed. Each teacher carries a cell phone so that you can contact them after regular school hours.

  • The school day is longer than normal which gives you the chance to participate in fantastic after-school activities like sports, dance, arts clubs, and other opportunities.

  • There are rewards for doing well, including monthly field trips and week-long spring trips to different areas of the country. By senior year, you will have visited California, Washington D.C., West Texas, the Midwest, and many other exciting places.

  • YES has very high expectations for its students. In fact, in order to graduate high school, all YES students must be accepted to college. By coming to YES, you will have the chance to go to college!
