Senior: I really enjoy the small class size and one on one help from teachers. Being a smaller school I am able to participate in more activities. The school is clean and free from deterioration. The walls are freshly painted and free from chips. The new gym is really nice. The parking lot has expanded for additional parking. I never struggles to find a place to park. The faculty is helpful and knowledgeable. They showed a true interest in my future plans and education goals. I have been able to have more success with a smaller student to teacher ratio. Teachers were able to provide more one on one assistance when I was struggling I have been able to take college courses while in college. I wish they had more college courses available to students. There are many classes I would have liked to take to eliminate some general education courses I will have to take when I attend college. Overall the school was relatively proactive when it comes to bullying and any concerns I had at school.... Read 19 reviews

Senior: Many students at Akron-Westfield attended the school their whole lives. I, on the other hand, only had the privilege for a few years. You would think that such a small school would be full of cliques, but everyone there was very nice and went out of their way to make me feel included. The teachers were welcoming, the students were friendly, and the faculty loved their jobs. The one thing we lack is diversity. We are in a small Iowan town, so we don't get to see much diversity. However, from what little we have been exposed to, I have seen nothing but positivity from everyone. Akron-Westfield was a great school, and I'm proud to have gotten the opportunity to attend....

  Rating 4.3 out of 5  10 reviews

Alum: It's a great small town community high school. The class sizes are small and you get to know everyone in the school. Because of this the teaching is much more personal and anyone can get help whenever they need it. The teachers are nice and it is an all around wonderful community to grow up in. Parents and students are heavily involved in setting up and going to sports events, kids fun night, homecoming, prom and anything else you can think of. It has some downsides such as the food program and a lack of classes and clubs due to the small size (specifically in technology related areas). However the faculty there wants you to succeed and will make you feel welcome.... Read 10 reviews
