My experience at Maquoketa High school was okay. The teachers are all super friendly and try to help you in any way they can. Students, on the other hand, aren’t as nice. There has always been some bullying and different groups of friends and those groups don’t like other groups, etc. Teachers and other staff tried to help with this, but never enforced it. Teachers also never really prepared us for college. If we weren’t able to take college classes as dual enrollment, we wouldn’t have any idea in college. None of us know how to study or take notes. Students always cheat on assignments because we don’t know how or want to study for anything because we have never been told how to. Maquoketa really focuses on sports. Most money goes towards sports but really only a couple sports such as football, volleyball, basketball, and softball/baseball.
I changed school district to start my freshman year of high school. I was really nervous and unsure of my surroundings. Those feelings quickly vanished with my first class of the day. I already felt welcomed and like I belonged. For the most part i had some really kind and understanding teachers all four years. That being said I can't help but feel that as a school district they did not prepare us for real life like they should have. It was not a competitive school with many options of higher classes due to the district not having the resources to. Overall I loved my school, teachers, and classmates. I truly believe Maquoketa high school is the reason why I found my passion of being a high school teacher.
Overall a pretty good school, has its issue like all smaller schools. Athletics are a big deal, most teachers are willing to help one on one. The community college located on campus is a huge benefit! Tons of opportunities for students to become involved.
