The best part of attending this school is the opportunities given to me. I have had opportunities to take honors and AP classes as well as a number of college classes. The most helpful thing from my school was the free online college courses through Hawkeye Community College. I would like to see more diversity in our school and more respect for others. There are a lot of students who are disrespectful to each other and I would like to see a change.

It was an average high school experience. Nothing too crazy ever happened to me. I had good friends and a good community.

The teachers genuinely care about their students and the schools are continually investing in new resources. However, I wish they would invest more into AP and accelerated classes for increased college readiness.
