The education program of Cedar Falls High School allows students the best chance at success in classes. All of my teachers have been willing to work with their students who strive to improve test scores, assignments, and answer any questions. The teaching staff is unlike any other school, they show respect to their students and aim to build personal relationships with them. The students are also fairly welcoming and respectful to each other. However the school is not very diverse, in race, sexuality, or religion, so if anyone seems different in any way they may face judgement from other students. The building itself is very old and run down, with no air conditioning in places, which creates a difficult learning environment during steamy hot days.
I enjoyed most aspects of my experience with the Cedar Falls Community School District. I found a vast majority of the teachers to be compassionate and helpful. I made wonderful friends and had lots of fun in my thirteen years as a student in the district. I only gave three out of five stars because of the ongoing racism in the district and the lack of response from administration. There is very little diversity among staff which is also cause for concern. The state of Cedar Falls High School is egregious and probably not safe for students, with asbestos warnings all around the building and yearly catastrophes involving the boilers and plumbing.
I love the engagement CFHS with sports and various activities because it brings a sense of unity and school spirit throughout each class. But, the diversity within the school is so scarce, which in a primarily white town is expected, but there were countless racist and hate incidents that were appalling to see in 2020. The school bathrooms and air conditioning was a common problem for everyone within the school, but the cleaning staff always worked hard. The teacher however, often either cared so deeply about their students and helpline the succeed or sat into a comfortable cycle where they forgot that being a teacher means working with each and every single student to do all you can to allow the to learn and grow academically and as a person.
