After the 8th grade, students move on to Prescott High School of the Prescott Unified School District. Previously students could choose between that school and Wickenburg High School of the Wickenburg Unified School District, but in order to reduce taxes, the district board removed the Wickenburg option in November 2018.

History

For a period of time the Peeples Valley School District sent students to the Yarnell district, as the former did not operate any schools. On July 1, 1980, the Yarnell district absorbed the Peeples Valley district. [5]

Prior to the Yarnell Hill Fire in 2013, the school had around 50 students. The student population fell to around 32 because the fire had damaged housing. This meant that the school's funding was halved. [3]

In 2014 its enrollment was 30, [6] and its budget was negative $150,000. In 2014 the board of directors agreed to keep the school in operation. [7]

Programs

It participates in a track meet intended for low population schools in the area. The track meet, which Hillside Elementary School District, Kirkland Elementary School District, and Skull Valley Elementary School District also participate in, began in 1957. [8]
