My experience at Iowa City West High School was greatly affected by the COVID pandemic, which lasted from the third trimester of my freshman year up until the last trimester of my junior year. I think that West High school did an excellent job at mitigating the spread of the disease, and although at the time it seemed overly restrictive, I know many people including myself that never got sick. The hybrid schedule was a personal favorite of mine, and throughout the pandemic the administration never changed or went back on their words when it came to social distancing policies. Overall, almost all my teachers followed district guidelines, and students even encouraged each other to wear masks. Another moment that stands out to me was the first trimester of my senior year, when there was a massive problem of kids skipping class and lingering in hallways. The school implemented a completely new system to keep kids in class, attendance went up and the hallways were empty during class time.
I would say personally with my experience that City High has been a great school to attend so far. The school gives you all the resources you need to be successful from teachers to emotional support from professionals in the nest wing. They offer a lot of challenging classes and have good school culture, I can personally say that City High prides themselves on helping every kid find somewhere to belong weather that being from joining a club to going out for a sport or just any of the extracurricular that the school offers. On top of all that the school is a leading school being one of the best journalism publications in the country and being one of the top teams in football, golf, wrestling, and swimming in the state year in and year out.
I absolutely loved my experience here. I went to Iowa City City High, and as a current college student I feel very prepared and aware of my goals. I think ICCSD does an amazing job at providing opportunities for every student, and prepares them in a way that no other school district does. I had amazing sporting experience and created friendships that will last a lifetime. I had amazing teachers that cared about my learning, but also as me as a human. My overall experience was amazing and couldn't be anymore thankful for the opportunities I was given.
