5/4/2023
Urbandale High School offered better facilities than my previous school. It put more effort and importance to my learning, which I appreciated. I lacked a diverse student body, but students strived to make a change.

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.

I like my supportive art teacher. Something I would want to change is having an orchestra at Urbandale and more art classes.

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...
