I've gone to Ames my whole life. And there are so many things I can say about it, but, for now, I'll just give a brief rundown of how I feel. I love the staff. ALMOST each and every one of my teachers have made my education so enjoyable, and have actually made me interested in being a teacher myself. In addition to having great staff, I've rarely ever come across bullying here. It still does sometimes occur, but I've not really encountered much of it. Trying to come up with things I don't like about my school district is very difficult, but, there are some things that I don't like. The food served is usually very disgusting, and there isn't enough outreach for people struggling with mental health problems. So, there's my review!
Ames is currently undergoing changes such as a new principal has been assigned, we are currently developing our new building, and our policies are ever-changing. This makes it hard to keep things consistent throughout the four years of high school. That being said, Ames High is very accepting and a positive place to be!
My experience at Ames has been positive. When it comes to other schools in the area, Ames is by far the best. That said, it is currently rebuilding its culture, and in the process has hit a few growing pains. I firmly believe the school district will get it sorted, and I think in the future Ames will be widely regarded as one of the best in the state.
