    #2 Best School Districts in Black Hawk County

    Senior: I liked the journalism opportunities that this school and the small class sizes. I felt that the smaller classes made it easier for teachers to help students one on one if they needed it. It also allowed for teachers to get to know their students and be able to help through situations where they need guidance...Read 3 Reviews

    #3 Best School Districts in Black Hawk County

    Alum: I had a pretty good experience in the Union Community School District. I made great connections with the students and teachers! I learned a lot and I appreciated the opportunities they offer to get early college credit. That was able to set me ahead for my college future. Lastly, I thought the size of the district was very comfortable. They average about 100 students per graduating class. I found that amount to be just about perfect because you know everyone which is comforting but you still have people that you aren't as familiar with...Read 13 Reviews

    • School District
    • DUNKERTON, IA
    • 7 reviews

    Alum: My experience at Dunkerton was excellent. The majority of students have had generations going to Dunkerton for many years. Since it is such a small community everyone knows everyone and you can be in any clubs or sports you want. You can tell that the teachers are really passionate and they care about each individual students and want them to succeed. The administration also cares about the students as well and care about the safety of the students...Read 7 Reviews

  5. Waterloo Community School District

    • School District
    • WATERLOO, IA
    • 66 reviews

    Senior: 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!...Read 66 Reviews

    Oneness-Family School

    • Private School
    • CHEVY CHASE, MD
    • PK, K-12
    • 15 reviews

    Alum: As a child of international parents moved from school to school, I found Oneness-Family School to be a warm, caring community, where I could explore my passions and interests, engage with my peers on creative projects, learn at my own pace, and enjoy a range of activities, including art, music, yoga, camping, and especially musical theater!...At Oneness-Family School, social and emotional learning is taught alongside a challenging academic curriculum. I so much value the "soft skills" and values I learned there. Additionally, I felt heard, cared for and respected by all my teachers, and am still in touch with many today!...Read 15 Reviews
