Bettendorf High School Reviews

Our school is very into sports, extracurricular activities and very much into the bulldog, black and gold spirit, but Bettendorf High School lacks in some things that are pretty important. We are very blessed with supplies and good facilities, but we don't have the most important thing that's needed for a high school, safety. Even though we have a security guard, our school has never felt like a safe place to anyone. Within one year we had a stabbing and a lock down lasting for hours for a school shooting, luckily no shots ended up being fired but Bettendorf students couldn't of felt more vulnerable. Alongside these, we have our everyday life threatening situations, bullies. Bullying happens a lot here, and teachers don't seem to do much about it. Trust me, Bettendorf can win any school spirit or football game anyway, but a trophy for safest school is something we'll never get.
Review Bettendorf High School
There are a variety of clubs that reach out to a diverse group of people. For example, a popular club that has a large number is gaming club. Kids bring in systems or individual games and play with teachers and friends. The clubs are extremely relaxed and do not require 100% attendance and time commitment. The teachers who run the clubs are typically passionate about the club they are leading, making it a more enjoyable experience for others. Another school activity that is easily the most attended and most well known is the after school lifting program. Freshman, all the way up to seniors attend the intense workout program Bettendorf offers and it is taken very seriously, especially for football players. Attendance is expected four days a week and if an athlete is unable to attend, he is expected to make that day up.
I liked the engagement level of the teachers with the students at Bettendorf High School. I would like to see a change in the administration there, though, because lots of things that happen come down to politics and who you're "in" with. I would prefer to have an administration that genuinely cares about the wellbeing of the students, faculty, and staff instead of trying to advance themselves.
