I have had an average high school experience in D300. Through fellow students and teachers, I have been able to survive the pandemic as well as thrive in my academics. I have, of course, had some negative experiences with some teachers, but that is expected and a learning experience. The district has always been supportive of my accommodations needed and making sure that I have my needs met at school. Overall, I would say my 13 years in D300 (including kindergarten) have helped me excel to the academic I am today as well as providing learning experiences for future struggles.
Great district. Great leadership. The student population is incredibly diverse. The schools, from Preschool to Highschool, have plenty of extracurricular activities to enrich the student's academic experience.
One thing I would like to see change is the administration. The rules that are created to "protect" students make it more confusing for us to live our lives. We are confused about the rights and wrongs with no clear direction of where to go. I also believe that the policy for homework and grading should be changed. As we age through the community we get more freedom and responsibility we also get more schoolwork that causes us to not enjoy our childhood years. Many of the assignments handed out do not actually progress us in our learning or the topics at hand they just confused us more with the actual learning. One thing I did enjoy about my time in D300 was how on football nights no matter the grade you were in or the friend groups you had everyone came together and cheered on the team. For that short time, we became a community with one common goal of cheering on our classmates. Those nights I will take with me and miss about D300 when I leave.
