12/29/2025
I feel that my experience is okay. I feel that some of the administration at the school aren't very supportive and sometimes not helpful. There are alot of really great teachers there at the school that I feel I can talk to though. A lot of the students at the school are clicky and not the nicest but also have alot of kids that are super nice and supportive. I would say my experience is a 6/10. If teachers and staff would be a little more supportive at times then it would definitely make the experience go up. Most of the time I feel that alot of staff are to busy to help or feel like it's a big task to help students.

Prairie offers so many amazing opportunities for students. Whether you shine on the football field or on the stage there are endless paths you can take. The staff cares about you and wants you to succeed not just in their class but in life. I am so thankful to have had the privilege to go to this wonderful school.

Prairie High school is a great high school filled with many different kids from different backgrounds. They have many opportunities for students who want to take dual enrolled college classes, however, do not do the best job preparing students for college classes through the high school work criteria.

My student loves it here. We used to be in the Cedar Rapids school district and moved to the Prairie district intentionally. It is a great school with great teachers.

Administration is terrible to staff. I do not recommend this school as a place to work.

The high school soccer coach was a real piece of work at the Valley invitational in Des Moines. Even the soccer players on his team were chiming in and yelling obscenities at the Valley staff, spectators and other teams. I hope they are not allowed back!

Despite some of my concerns about conservative administration, our kids have benefited greatly from a good music program and some very good teachers. I also feel the Junior High does an exemplary job with not tolerating drug use/violence.
