I just recently moved into the Ames School District, and so far it has been okay. The teachers are very nice and friendly, and the administrators are very quick and effective. However, the environment of the school is a little tense. Verbal fights occur often, and there are sometimes physical fights. However, the school offers many great clubs and sports opportunities. There is something for everyone!
The high school has a lot to offer within its English departments, not much else. The science teachers are lacking in their ability to teach and help students and the math department has the same flaws. The English department had great teachers and well taught classes.
The lunch food is as you expect, not great.
The middle school had issues with safety especially for girls and that caused issues for both the middle school and the high school.
Overall it’s ok, but lots could be improved.

Really good experience, there's a lot of really good teachers, you have a lot of opportunities to join different clubs. From Feminist Club to Spectrum to Lettuce Club, there's just about anything. A lot of choices with AP classes, and there are multiple options for the types of classes you'd want to take. The cafeteria doesn't have many options for vegetarian foods, so you'd have to bring your own lunch if you'd want anything good.
