Waukee is a great school with a lot of social activities but it's not easy to connect with children on the same level as you because most the children in Waukee grew up wealthy and I didnt so that made it hard.

Waukee High School is located within a wealthy, well-off area of Iowa called Waukee. The school itself is in disarray, however, from years of misuse. Additionally, the staff and faculty are not well equipped to handle any kind of situations.

I really like how welcoming and caring the staff are. The administration is always around and connect on a personal level with a lot of students.

A lot of the students are very cliquey especially when it comes to sports. It is easy to feel drowned by everyone around you.

I have seen kids that went to Des Moines metro and area schools that are struggling with things that I learned in 10th grade at Waukee. There is a strong emphasis on athletics here, b...
