I've been attending Ankeny School District since 2022. My overall experience has been good with only a few negative things I could say. Most of my complaints would be about certain teachers I didn't enjoy but we all have our opinions. Majority of the staff really try and push you to do your best and aim for success.

Ankeny High School does a great job of keeping a spotless and safe environment, which enables me as a student to feel comfortable around my peers. Another part of what makes Ankeny High School great is the support from teachers, with all of my teachers doing a great job of keeping me engaged and helping me whenever I need it.

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.

I'm actually a former student, but apparently those who had to deal with principals and parent influence on a daily basis aren't qualified to comment on them.
