My experience with Cedar Falls High School was only enjoyable because I made it so. The administration did so little to properly address racial based problems, and at times, only had the problem addressed when students of color took charge. The distribution of time and money throughout different school sponsored extracurriculars, like photography, soccer, the arts, golf, etc. seemed skewed and displayed their focus on the sports that drew in the most attention from the community, rather than making sure every student could enjoy their passion to the fullest extent. Too many teachers taught because it was a job, not because they enjoyed sharing new ideas and information with young adults and helping them to succeed. Parts of the school were way past their needed updating, and it had an overall dull and gray appearance. The two stars are only there for the few teachers, 4 total, that truly believed in me, and the friends I was able to make and bond with over our mediocre experience.
Cedar Falls High school provides a great atmosphere for learning. I have attended Cedar Falls High school for 3 years and it has provided me with multiple resources for learning about specific subjects and about my future. The teachers and principles at Cedar Falls high school are very knowledgeable and are always available to help. At school, I always feel like I am in a safe environment where I can learn and express my views and opinions without any fear. The athletic department at my school is one of the best in the State of Iowa and provides numerous resources for our athletes so that they can stay healthy and perform at their highest potential. Our school has been faced with multiple problems with the building such as water leakage and A/C breakdown, however, our school has always been able to bounce back and make the best of the situation. Cedar Falls High School has been my home for the past 3 years and they have helped to form the person I am today.
I really like that Cedar Falls High School is big enough that it has many opportunities and activities to choose from. I know many other students who appreciate this as well. Teachers do their very best to include everyone that they can. They are open and respectful towards different opinions, perspectives, and ideas. I only have a few teachers who seems to care more about students than what they are teaching. If I could change anything about Cedar Falls High School, I would have teaching for teachers about why they are doing what they are doing. Are they really trying to help me succeed? The teachers who are more in tune with me and with other students, get farther in their teaching. The students learn better. Overall, I have enjoyed my experience at Cedar Falls High School, however.
