Waterloo community school district is welcoming to all and great at preparing students for their next step in life. There is now the Waterloo Career Center which has been very helpful as I make my way into the medical field. One thing I have always disliked about this district is the strict dress code. It took until my senior year to be able to wear a hoodie in class. I’m not against it, I just think it needed even that small adjustment years ago, and it seems it that the change only happened because wearing a mask was more important. Besides that the foods pretty alright most days, the teachers are very helpful, and all just want the students to succeed. I enjoyed my time in the Waterloo schools district and feel well prepared for my next step, college!
Waterloo Community School District does their best to make all new students feel welcomed. No matter the student's race, ethnicity, sexuality, this district is warming to everybody. Although there is a lack of positivity from teachers as some students may say they didn't try their hardest for the students who needed the help, the administration and school board was always ready to listen to what students had to say about this issue and showed great respect to these kids. When it comes to sports, coaches cared for every student up until high school. This made a turn as student athletes felt the best kids were favorited. The Friday night football games and the winter basketball games distract kids from the roaches found throughout our high school.
I love the diversity of Waterloo and the Waterloo School District! I am so lucky to have grown up in a school with so many other cultures. I do dislike the unfair dress code aimed at women in the past. Although there have been improvements, this dress code still disproportionately affects women.
