Senior: West Burlington High School is very well at pushing kids to strive to do their best. Most work is self-paced which makes a major difference. Most of the teachers want kids to do their best which means putting in an ample amount of time devoted to tutoring. One thing I would like to see change about West Burlington High School would be the amount of acceptance and diversity among students and teachers.

Middle School Student: Mediapolis is a very great school to be at. The educational program is strong and somewhat challenging. I enjoy going to school here and I look forward to go to high school next year. Most of the teachers in the middle school are fun and nice, but there is a couple of them that can be a little too much to handle sometimes. Right now the 8th grade sports program is doing very well, the boys 8th grade is doing well, too. The 7th grade program is an okay one for the girls, and I'm not to sure about how good the boys are.

Senior: Danville Junior/Senior High School is a very nice school filled with quality kids. I attended the school since I started kindergarten. I loved my experience there and have made life-long friends because of it. It is a really small school. My graduating class has only 40 people in it. The education was great and the teachers were all very nice and cared about each individual. I would definitely recommend Danville Junior/Senior High School to anyone in the nearby district or area.

Senior: I liked being a part of the many clubs and sports teams! The teachers made me feel comfortable in their classes. My coaches made me feel like I was a necessary part of the team's I participated on. I had a very good experience the four years I attended Burlington community high school. I have many good memories from attending Burlington community high school! My teachers were always available to help me when I needed extra help in any class. My counselor was an integral part of my school career as well. She was always available to work with me on my class schedule. I feel that I am prepared for the next four years in college because of attending Burlington community high school.
