Elkhorn Public Schools gives an excellent education and has lots of extracurricular activities available, but I have felt that they put more emphasis on grades than mental health. There have been times where I or a friend needed help, and it just wasn't given. Luckily for us, we made it through it because we have a good support system, but other people might not have other options to fall back onto. I also brought up a concern about a graded debate in class about whether being homosexual was nature or nurture, feeling that it was homophobic to encourage kids to discuss this, especially when sides of the debate were assigned. This was met with little to no concern, and I was told that it is important for students to be able to debate all sides of an argument. I wholeheartedly agree with that, but this is not an argument, it is a scientific fact and it pertains to a group of people that are marginalized and persecuted every day.
I attended Elkhorn Public Schools K-12 and loved the district. I have had many positive experiences here and the school district really does prepare students for college. The academics can be rigorous at times, especially the amount of homework in the upper grades, but if you push through, you will be successful in college. Besides academics and outstanding teachers (who will always put their students before themselves) the administration is poor. It is very political and all about who you know. Princiapals and other admin should not have such a stuck up attitude and look at the bigger picture, which is not themselves.
Elkhorn Public Schools is quite possibly the best school district I’ve learned in. Considering that I’ve been to four different states comprised of five total different school districts, I would say that Elkhorn has won this competition. Elkhorn has great teachers that care for not only what they teach but their students and their success during and after high school.
