What Parents Should Know
With an enrollment of 189 students, Yellowstone Academy is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
As a private school, Yellowstone Academy operates independently from the local public school district.
