Senior: I had an amazing experience at Western Dubuque High School. They really show that every bobcat matter and try to keep everyone involved. Every teacher is accepting and helps everyone in any way they can. They have been very generous this year by giving every student their own laptop due to COVID-19. They do a great job at keeping track of students even with it being such a big district. Everyone also makes sure around homecoming, prom, and holidays the halls are decorated and we do fun activities. Overall, I have had an amazing experience at Western Dubuque and I wouldn’t want to have cherished all of these memories anywhere else!... Read 166 reviews

Junior: One of the best parts of my experience at Dubuque Senior high school has been the high amount of school spirit. Everyone at Senior is proud to be a ram and we always pack the stands at sporting events like football and basketball, and those games are a great time for everyone and tend to be very popular. But many other sports are forgotten and their programs and facilities are left with little money and support. For example, the football stadium is one of the nicest in the state costing millions of dollars to create. While on each side of it, the baseball and softball fields lack even simple amenities such as lights. This lack of sufficient lighting can be dangerous and some games must be ended prematurely due to darkness. This is just one example of inconsistency across the school athletic programs. Overall Senior high school is a great place to be, but we could do better to establish fair funding and support throughout the school’s extracurricular activities.... Read 241 reviews

Alum: I really enjoyed the atmosphere at Wahlert Catholic High School! The teachers and staff were great at helping students; however, some of the students weren't the nicest people. Besides a few bad apples, I received a great education from Wahlert. The Catholic school education taught me how to be a good person and an even better student. The small class sizes and the block schedule allowed for an in-depth education. The honors and AP teachers prepared me pretty well for tests and college life. Overall, I highly recommend Wahlert's private education, and I am so grateful to have received a Wahlert education.... Read 58 reviews
