Welcome to Yates Mill
Since opening its doors in 2000, Yates Mill Elementary School has proudly served families in the growing southwest Raleigh community while honoring the area's rich history. Named after the nearby Historic Yates Mill, a working gristmill that has been a treasured Wake County landmark for more than 250 years, the school reflects the community's deep roots and enduring spirit. Today, Yates Mill Elementary continues to build on that legacy by inspiring students to learn, lead, and grow in a welcoming environment where tradition and innovation come together.
