Iroquois Junior/Senior High School Reviews

67 reviews

The school is slowly going down hill and they aren’t the best with handling students. I believe that they need to work on become more of a family.

Iroquois is a good experience if you make it a good experience. The resources for seniors or any other grade isn't that efficient. The teachers mostly care about teaching their curriculum instead of getting kids to comprehend it. Our grade scale is more strict than other schools, even the schools that you have to be tested into (Collegiate Academy). The school could do a better job of preparing seniors for life on their own.

The administration tends to be very controlling. Many rules exist that are purely there to control. Rules about safety are obvious, but many are frivolous and shouldn't exist. I think the teachers and academics are of high quality. There's a wide variety of electives available for students.

Review Iroquois Junior/Senior High School

Iroquois is a small school in a small town with very helpful teachers and staff that are passionate about what they do. Some of the students can be rough, but you can tell the teachers still care about them and want them to succeed. The school is always celebrating its sports teams and supporting the achievers, and teachers are very understanding of the variety of situations students get into.

I am a current senior at Iroquois Jr/Sr. High School. I have had difficulty with the Iroquois school district since elementary school. The administration does not focus on or award accelerated students. I cannot award most of my academic accomplishments to the school. I will say that 98% of the teachers are amazing. Most of them care about the students but are held back by the administration. The only reason I still go there is because I could not afford private school.

Iroquois is a small school. Because of this, I have received significantly more one-on-one help from teachers throughout my 12 years in the school district. Additionally, the small size brings a sense of unity. While there are benefits, many drawbacks also that come with this. There are less resources and opportunities. Personally, I think guidance provides insufficient help. I felt lost signing up for SATs and applying for dual enrollment. No one told me those from economically disadvantaged homes could get their fee waivered, and nobody guided me through dual enrollment applications until very late in the process. Considering our large economically disadvantaged demographic, I‘d expect more opportunities offered to financially help students. Aside from free lunches, there is little help regarding this. I just wish both guidance and the administration had a higher consideration in that area.

I have been a student at Iroquois throughout my entire life. I went to the elementary school and I went to junior high and high school here. This school has very good staff who are always available for assistance and support for their class or any other reason we may need it. This district really does care about the students. Our guidance team is amazing and always does everything in their power to make sure we can all succeed in our futures. Iroquois offers many different types of classes, ranging from all types of arts, to math and sciences, to English classes, and history. I appreciate the classes that the high school offers and the chances there are from these classes. Overall, the student life, the academics, and everything else at Iroquois is very amazing and I appreciate the experiences and lessons I have been able to learn from my experience at Iroquois.

I do not enjoy iroquois high school they do absoutley nothing for your mental and physical health there are maybe 3 good teachers out of the entire school that actually care about their students health the only thing the faculty cares about is the test scores there is a lot of bullying that goes on and none of the faculty seems to care the food is absoutley disgusting i would recoomend the elementary school but switch schools before you get to 7th grade.

Iroquois High School gave me a great education that prepared me for college however the leadership of the administration was retched. The lack of concern about the mental health of its students was shocking. Not to mention all of the controversy that the administration had made with multiple poor decisions on there part. Also the extreme focus on sports over other activities and clubs was discouraging.

The small class sizes were an advantage and a disadvantage. I loved being able to know everyone in my class and having the opportunity to work one-on-one with my teachers, but the small student population made scheduling for honors, AP, and college courses limited.

It is an amazing school. Iroquois has truly shaped the man I am today. It is where I grew up and I’m surrounded my caring people who want me to succeed. I highly recommend this school to anyone that wants to go to a quality public school. Students will not be disappointed by the experience they have at Iroquois Junior/Senior High School.

The school is overall good, friendly faces, and some kind people who are willing to help overs. I think the only thing I would change is the involvement of people.

I appreciate the effort teachers make in order to assure that students will have a beneficial and enjoyable education. Additionally, the variety of after school clubs and activities gives everyone an opportunity to excel outside of academics.

Something I would like to see changed or adjusted is the environment of the cafeteria. The large quantity of people make it difficult to get lunch before the ending bell rings and the room gets incredibly loud.

The teachers are very good and they encourage you to be successful in life and are always there if you need help. I believe that this is a reason why I have become a successful college student

This school is rooted in a small, tight-knit community where some teachers have taught parents (and even granparents) of current students. The town is invested in its youth. However, school spirit and morale is low due to a constricitng administration. Just let the kids be kids! The teachers are some of the best in the world, but they can only handle so much pressure from both sides-students and administrators. If the kids could tell that their teachers-their role models and example-setters- don't enjoy working there, the kids won't enjoy learning there.

The small-school experience grants the potential for students to become very well-rounded and involved, but the population of the school that takes advantage of this is small.

Overall, Iroquois is a pretty good high school. There are not many things to complain about aside from not having A/C in our building. However, it is rumored that this is being implemented next school year.

The teachers are very understandable and helpful whenever you need help. The Counseling office is always ready to answer questions and get you what you need. The only thing that isn't the best is probably the administration. The dress code is a bit strict and the front office is not very responsible.

Review Iroquois Junior/Senior High School

I am currently a Junior at Iroquois Junior/Senior High School. I feel like I am part of a family there. I'm very well-rounded, have many friends, and involved in a lot of the school functions and activities. I love that it being so small, I am given the opportunity to participate in various activities. The teachers are very responsive to my questions, and have an open-door policy.

The majority of the staff is super supportive and they always make sure to help their students when they need it. I've never had a teacher tell me my goals are unrealistic instead they support my decision and go out of their way to help me meet these goals. There are, however, a very small amount of staff members who aren't very supportive and only care about select groups of students.

Iroquois High School is a small school to begin with but that's what makes it such a great school. It's easy to connect with the teachers in small classroom sizes. Everyone is friendly which makes the school a community in itself. I've learned a lot not only academically but also life lessons as well. Overall, my experience at Iroquois has been the best.
