4.0 Senior

10/3/2024

I really like the friendships that I have made here at Cedar Falls, especially through the music program we have. I think the teachers and staff are very welcoming and we have great resources. However, I do think that the student community could be better intertwined.

Horrible school honestly don’t accommodate they are disrespectful. This school isn’t helping anyone. I have heard multiple bad things about this school.

4.0 other

3/19/2020

Overall, it was an always safe environment, with a passionate staff of educators. Infrastructure wise, it shows its age.

5.0 parent

10/14/2019

Both my daughter and I went there because it is the best school district in the state of Iowa.

2.0 parent

3/20/2012

We moved here from a small town full service high school. Peers groups are better, teacher quality is roughly the same and administration and support are rigid, unfriendly, uncoordinated and difficult. If you need any accommodations, plan for a battle and hope for the best.
