North Polk High School Reviews
Rating 3.82 out of 5 100 reviews
My experience at North Polk High School has been very fulfilling and enhancing to my life. Eve since i moved to the district, I felt right at home! The smaller, rural structure of the school makes school life less chaotic and more personal. The teachers are very motivated in their work, and coming from a student's point of view, they are continually striving to make connections with their students and build relationships that will last throughout students' entire high school career. The classrooms incite a much needed environment full of laughter and excitement which really helps students like me when it comes to over-stressing and worrying about school. North Polk has been an amazing place for me to continue my preliminary education, and has helped me as I have began to transition into my last year of high school, guiding me towards what steps I need to take and what path is the best for me!
I really enjoyed my experience at North Polk. I started at North Polk when I was in kindergarten, and I will graduate May of 2022. North Polk has excellent teachers that know both their subject very well and their students even better. The staff is always very kind and helpful; I am so glad that I went to North Polk!
I like that you know everyone and the teachers really care about the students. Even though it’s a small school there should be more clubs, outreach and connect student with nearby schools with different clubs.
