We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience at Whitewater High School was mostly positive. I was able to participate in many diverse activities. I only wish I had more academic support in transitioning from virtual learning to in-person learning during Covid-19.

Whitewater High School was a pretty small school but there was something for everyone to find a place to feel like they belong. They have multiple clubs, organizations, sports, and volunteer activities. There are certain teachers that make the school environment a friendly and support place.

I have not had a teacher I didn't enjoy. Although I felt I wasn't being challenged enough in this school. Each class has felt easier and easier as I've progressed throughout this school system of course I am jinxing myself now as I say that. I have always had amazing teachers that understand and care for you like a teacher should be doing. There wasn't a single person that was just focused on handing out paper and expecting us to learn like that. The teachers got into it making it fun to learn about the topics showing their love of the class. With the new ideas that the new principal has brought I wish I was becoming a freshman this year for there is far more ap classes and other classes that are involved with the university.
