I think the best parts of South Winn are the involvement in clubs and sports and the college pathway. I've made so many new friends through playing sports, and I had so many opportunities. My counselor has also made it really easy for me to pick a college. The worst parts of South Winn are the limited classes. I think there should be more classes that are AP or that teach life skills.

The best part about south winneshiek is definitely the staff. Everyone is so willing to answer my questions and make me feel seen. Not to mention, Mr. Williams is an amazing principle. The worst part I would say is how old our building is and spread out all the classrooms are.

This is a great high school! Every student gets a Macbook and technology is used in every classroom. The teachers really care about the students and it is a great community atmosphere. Every student gets the individual attention they need and the leaders of the schools are very involved.
