My experience at Iota High School has been absolutely perfect over my high school career. I have enjoyed continuing my learning experience, and the community here is just wonderful. The teachers will always do their absolute best for their students, and will help you as many times as you need to make sure you're understanding the curriculum.

I have had a variety of experiences with Iota High School. I really think it is an amazing school. The teachers truly care about their students and they want what is best for them. I have managed to keep a 4.0 GPA because of the really good education system put in place at Iota. There are very few changes I would make. For instance, there needs to be stricter rules put into place and enforced. Iota is a small town and sometimes people get away with things because of who they are related to. This isn't fair to anyone else. Other than small problems as such, Iota really is a great school.

There are many things that I enjoyed about Iota High School. From the tradition from sports to the very respectful and caring teachers, Iota has its fair share of positives to it. There are some things that Iota could improve on however. For example, the school lunch starting back in 2015 has been terrible. Most meals aren't enough food to make anyone full and half of the time they are not very good. Honestly that would be my only complaint.
