I enjoyed my time so far at Ankeny High School. It has been a mostly enjoyable experience. There are several teachers who are nice, and I feel comfortable reaching out to them. There is also a sense of community in the school as you know lots of people.

My counselors and teachers are very helpful. I have been able to take many different classes in different subjects that I am interested in. I feel like I am well prepared for college after high school.
