I had a good time while at this high school. There was a new change every year that I was not a fan of. I had to deal with a few covid years as well, overall though a pretty good experience.

I cherish my memories and experiences at Urbandale. As far as public schools go, this one has everything you could ever want in terms of classes, activities, faculty, and resources. It's a "small" big school, so (as a student) you will recognize every face you see on graduation day, even if you don't know every name or shared any classes (this is coming from a very middle-of-the-road student). It's not perfect, but I wouldn't want it to be. Urbandale has character.

Great with communication, teachers are engaged and remember every student. Helps students prepare for college and life skills. Great size, not too small not too big. Variety of classes and material taught. Offers classes with ap and college credit.

One will graduate this year and one is in the middle school still. I would give Urbandale School district extremely high marks in almost all areas. They have...

I would give it a TEN. My third child is getting ready to graduate from Urbandale High School. All three started in pre-K with Olmstead as well as Kindergarten. They attended Karen Acres from 1st through 5th and then on to the middle school and the high school. Urbandale has a great deal of dual cre...
