My experience with the school district was better-than-average up until Covid-19 hit. I enjoyed my classes and socializing opportunities up until this point, when administration caved in on itself and put no effort into the well-being of its students or its teaching community. They regularly cancelled school due to "smoke hazards" or "potential breakouts," when they truthfully had no concern for these issues. The genuine motive for closing school repeatedly was so that they could postpone their administrative duties for longer periods of time, which was shown through their lack of preparation for the graduating classes or online class organization. Overall, my experience before Covid was normal, but after a crisis hit, their efforts completely ceased.
WCSD schools are overcrowded, hateful, and plain clueless. The amount of incompetent and dangerous teachers that somehow got hired astounds me. Minority students weren't protected, and many were exploited for brownie points. The only good thing about this school district is the limited number of staff who actually cared about students. This district pushes college onto students but gives students 0 chances to be independent, because they believe the students are irresponsible. But what they fail to realize is that students are irresponsible whenever given any freedom because they never had the chance to learn responsibility, causing a never-ending cycle. 12th grade students still need to ask to go to the bathroom and you wonder why they can't handle the freedom of college? The district needs to stop prioritizing their public image and focus on properly educating students and helping them grow into responsible, independent, and empathetic adults.
Overall the Washoe County School District is amazing all the teachers that I've had have been wonderful and know what they are doing. Like every great thing there are a issues, the district is understaffed most of the year. Classroom sizes are also very large because of the understaffed problem more students have to be put with one teacher which leads to over sized classrooms. Although this is a problem I've enjoyed learning at this district they are very helpful and hire amazing teachers!
