    There are so many opportunities and ways to get involved. Most of the teachers are great! The staff cares about your education and helps you. There are also a ton of classes to chose from. I have been going to Ankeny since kindergarten and haave had a pretty good experience overall.

    I really like that the administration cares deeply for every single student. Though they press safety on to us constantly, it's because they care. I also like that they try to make sure that everyone is involved in activities and other things in some sort of way. They want you to have the best high school experience possible while still trying to prepare us for college.
    The culture with sports can be vastly improved. We have some coaches who asxribe to the old philosophy of degrading the boys, calling them names, putting them down, using antequated language and approaches to riling them up to perform.
