I was a substitute teacher here and one day a male student had an accident in his pants (ie pee) . So I sent him with another student to get a change of clothes. A few minutes later, the principal ,Ed Colacion, ( now at Hollywood High, lucky them)..called me out & blamed me . The kid had asked me once to use the restroom and I said ,”Can you wait a moment?” as they were about to do presentations in front of the class. He agreed ,so I assumed he was ok. Next thing I know he’s in front of the class with his group presentation and the accident happens. I would NEVER stop a student from using the restroom if they insisted they really had to go NOW. OR, alternatively they know, or should know, to just walk out (as kids have done before , honestly or otherwise ) .I say the problem comes from the top if the environment is so prohibitive. Nonetheless, I became the scapegoat for the cowardly principal, & it became a formal “strike” against me (3 strikes & you’re out). SHAME ON ED COLACION ????

As a parent to two kids one who graduated and one about to graduate from yoka which is 4 years with this school and me being a student myself of lausd and the area I really recommend this school to other parents it has given my children the education and support they needed to strive for there goals in the future and the kids are separated from one another boys and girls which to me is great gives them less time to think about being in lil relationships and this I believe is why some kids find it boring also I’ve found that there is no gang activity inside this school which is wonderful hey have classes to help Saturday school if your child just isn’t quite making the class there so many good things about this school I can’t write it down if you choose to bring your child to yoka you’ll be helping your children with starting there future at a great school
