Actually they are pretty interchangeable. 
 
A scream is usually longer and shriller than the other two though.
 
A yell can also be something like a team chant

According to the Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary:

People shout when they are angry or want to get somebody �s attention: He always seems to be shouting at the kids these days. I can hear you - there �s no need to shout
Yell can also be used, especially in spoken English. When people scream they make a very loud, high noise because they are in great pain or are very frightened or excited: There was broken glass everywhere and people were screaming.


HTH! Good luck!
