The district was good, but it lacked a lot of understanding of their students. They introduced iPads to a majority of the grades, but never fully grasped how to control and work around problems that occurred with the technology. During my senior year, they had little to no snow days available for Waukesha North High School and that year was a terrible winter for us! It was not very fun because there was no wiggle room available. I wouldn't say the district is bad or uncaring, those were just some big takeaways that occurred during my time with the Waukesha School District, and from what I've heard and seen, they are working around some issues that occurred. The WSD has been very open and inclusive with their programs within schools and diversity and that has been the greatest impact on growing up here in Waukesha--I got to meet so many wonderful people that weren't the same as me.
The Waukesha School District has many ups and downs like all school districts. I, for one, love the district, and not only that, my school, Waukesha North, in general. The schools always try to be very inclusive with their learning and adapt to new students' needs. The staff-to-student ratio is incredibly convenient because there are great opportunities for students to create a bond with the teachers. In today's society, I feel as though having a tight bond with your school's faculty is essential because it allows students to express their needs quickly. It is crucial for students to feel safe in their school physically and mentally, and Waukesha School District is always finding ways to improve the mental and physical health of the students. Overall, I am very thankful that I am a student of the Waukesha School District because their school shaped me into who I am and the person I want to be in the future.
My experience in the district has been average. The elementary school I attended was not the best. This school did not prepare for the levels and challenges that middle school would bring. This made my middle school years a challenge for me. Going into high school my academics has gotten so much better. The teachers and other staff here at Waukesha North have been amazing! There are so many teachers here that are always willing help me, and always trying to find a way to make my day better if they know I am having a bad one. The teachers and staff here at North are always trying to better their students, and prepare us for what the real world can bring.
