  Rating 4.13 out of 5  8 reviews

Senior: Orion schools are part of a tight-knit community, which transitions to the school atmosphere, too. The teachers really care bout your success and are very kind. There are quite a few well-qualified teachers who enhance student's learning. However, Orion also has many under-qualified teachers. Another downside that affected me was that, since Orion is so small, they are not able to offer a large array of classes or diversity in its students. The lack of class options didn't set me up well for applying to college and scholarships because it looked like I didn't take specialized classes; when in reality, they didn't offer them. Overall, Orion school district is a great place to grow up in, with only a few setbacks.... Read 8 reviews

  Rating 3.86 out of 5  14 reviews

Senior: Overall, from kindergarten to my senior year, my experience in the Sherrard district and in the community has been very good. Since we do live in a smaller rural area, the majority of our schools are very close and everyone knows everyone. Throughout the years my teachers have pushed me to do my best. In 4th and 5th grade, I was dealing with many health problems. Throughout that time period, my teachers provided me with the proper materials to succeed. I have made many friends, made it to state in cross country, and have made so many fun memories that I will cherish forever.... Read 14 reviews

  Rating 3.73 out of 5  11 reviews

Alum: Moline Senior High School was a great school. I learned many things in all my classes and my teachers were great when it came to me needing a little extra help. I played soccer for three years and loved every minute of it. I was able to stay active while being pushed academically. The school offers many programs and events to keep us from overwhelming ourselves throughout testing periods. Now that I am in college, I believe Moline High School prepared me to be successful. I loved my high school experience and hope to one day be able to go back and teach there and inspire future students like my teachers inspired me to be a teacher.... Read 11 reviews

  Rating 3.76 out of 5  33 reviews

Senior: I really like Rock Island School District. I started school in the district since I was in first grade. I like all my teachers that I had. The teacher is very good with encouraging their student about learning. When I first started school in the district, I didn’t speak a word of English. My teacher and friends helps me to learn the new language and that how I was able to speak a different language. I am now a senior in Rock Island High School and doing the best I can. Going to school was very fun and everywhere I go I make now friends. I feel safe when going to school because I believe that the teacher will do anything they can to protect their student....
