Overall, I had a relatively good experience with the Waterloo Community School District. There are copious teachers in this district that truly care about their students and really want them to succeed. There are quite a few clubs and sports to be part of as well and I really enjoyed the wide range of options. There is also a very wide range of student diversity here which I love.Something I would like to see changed is the environment in some classrooms. During the winter months, the boiler oftentimes is broken causing classrooms to be uncomfortably cold and some classrooms even had icicles hanging from their windows. I also would like to see some of the desks replaced and more options for those that are left handed.
I enjoy the diversity that the Waterloo school district has. There is a good combination for all different cultures and families and we have a variety of teachers which means there are a lot of options for students that need a different kind of teaching style to help them understand. The Waterloo Community School District also has a lot of good extra circular activities, such as: band, choir, sports, speech, theater etc. There is something everybody as long as they are willing to join in!
I enjoy the teachers' enthusiasm to teach every day and the fact that they wanted to connect with their students. Everyone loved homecoming week because we wouldn't need to wear uniforms and there were specific themes for each day. Students and Staff are friendly and provide a positive environment. They have recently built a building, the Waterloo Career Center, and they have college classes there for juniors and seniors so they can receive college credit for no cost to them. I would not change anything about the Waterloo Community School District.
