My experience at Prairie high school has been great. The amount of smiles around the building is awesome. The teachers really care about their students and want them to succeed. They take time out of their day and help you when you need it. I am really sad to leave next year, but they have helped me be a better person throughout my years there!
I like Prairie, it's a safe place compared to other schools around Cedar Rapids. The education is great and I can always count on my teachers for help. The people are okay and you can find all types of people in this area. The building looks really nice too! They are in the process of renovating and so far it looks amazing!
With the constant students filtering in and out of high school as they graduate, Prairie High School gives so many opportunities and support. They help their students stay consistent in grades and they give everyone a chance to grow and become better people. Not once have I had a problem finding activities to join, teachers to help, or areas to study. Every day. I am greeted by smiling teachers, posters for events and a clean place to learn and enjoy. Over all, Prairie is an amazing environment that helps students reach success.
