Parent: We love Rivermont! For us there is no other school for our son. We love the value they place on social and emotional growth especially during the last few years. The school does a phenomenal job of honoring our child as an individual while maintaining a sense of community throughout the grades. We are so impressed with how they scaffold their education and spark collaborative learning which will be essential skills for work and life. To me, providing a safe and joyful learning environment is priceless and we are confident that’s what our child receives everyday at Rivermont.... Read 58 reviews

Senior: I loved the school and it’s education system. Going from my old school this Pleasant Valley was a big change but it helped me for the better, not just with my education but also my social skills and meeting new people. I got to get to know many of the staff and students around me and build bonds with many people. PV has also given me a huge step forward in my career path and helped open doors I never knew existed before attending the school. It crazy how much a school could impact you but I’m grateful Pleasant Valley left such a huge one on me. I will forever me proud to say I was a Pleasant Valley Spartan!... Read 232 reviews

Parent: We moved from the Pleasant Valley Elementary school district, which is the #1 elementary school in our district, to Cody Elementary which is a MUCH SMALLER rural school. We were amazed at the student teacher ratio and the how much the teachers were committed to teaching. These teacher CARE about the students in their classes and really care about each student and there learning capabilities. I am so proud that our twins went to Cody. I consider it the BEST ELEMENTARY in the Pleasant Valley School District.... Read 1 review

Senior: Assumption High School gave me the best years of my life. The staff was overall very friendly and helpful. The courses were difficult but prepared us for college-level courses. We were required to take multiple college classes before graduating, so we could be a step above other schools; therefore, giving us an advantage. The school created a sense of community and family. The athletics department was excellent, the coaches were so helpful in each sport. Our teams achieve state-level status in almost every sport! Assumption gave me many experiences that I am thankful for.... Read 119 reviews

Senior: My favorite thing about Alleman is the class sizes. Small class sizes lead to more individualized attention to each person. There is a strong sense of community and togetherness. Everyone knows and supports each other. College preparation is embedded into the curriculum. However, a downside would be a little lack of opportunity. There are fewer classes to choose from compared to public schools. There are not many AP classes offered. Scheduling is challenging due to the lack of a class in every period so you may not be able to take the classes that you want. Overall, I love my personalized experience at Alleman and the sense of community that it gives.... Read 80 reviews

Senior: I enjoyed going to Quad Cities Christian School for six years. If I needed help in a class I could always get one on one time with a teacher. Everyone knew each other because it is a smaller private school. I met really good friends there. We have chapel every Wednesday and sometimes do fun events during it. I love their Bible class that they have. Quad Cities Christian School has an international exchange program. I made many friends all over the world and we still contact each other even though they are back in their country. One problem is that there is not any AP classes. I was hoping I could get college credit, but there was no way I could. I hope in the future they will find a way to have these important classes. Another problem Quad Cities Christian School face is that there is not enough extracurricular courses. Most public school have interesting classes that you can take. Luckily QCCS does have a few of these classes but not enough for everyone’s interests to be met.... Read 22 reviews

Parent: We have just had our last child graduate from Morning Star. I am so thankful that we chose MSA and the sacrifices over the years have been so worth it! The care and concern that the staff has for the students well beyond their time there is amazing. Not only have our children been exposed to an incredible education, but the instructors have also invested in their lives and have shown a great desire to see them grow in the Lord as well as academically. Even when things have not been perfect - the situations have been handled with grace. The extra shifts and jobs to make it work for our children to be at MSA have been well worth it - we would do it all over again in a heartbeat!... Read 22 reviews

Junior: North Scott offers many college classes in order to prepare students for the future. Along with offering three counselors to help plan a future for each student. For the students taking the next step of education and going to college North Scott offers a College and Career Counselor that brings in representatives from various colleges. North Scott can improve with some teachers as some treat upper-class men like babies and do not try to stretch their thinking. If you want a school with thriving sports then North Scott is where you would want to attend with amazing facilities and winning teams. The school is perfect for parents that want to ensure their child is excelling in the classroom with many websites to see your childs involvement and grades within school.... Read 160 reviews

Senior: I loved attending here! It has an amazing Christian atmosphere, and it really helped me become a well-rounded Christian and citizen. It focused greatly on my own Christian character by teaching what the Bible says to be true. The academics is rigorous, but the teachers are devoted to seeing you excel. I'd love to see my school expand and grow as it continues to pursues it's goal to teach the new generation to be the leaders of tomorrow!... Read 10 reviews

Senior: I transferred to Moline High School for my senior year and they welcomed me with open arms. Right away I got involved in the music department and it was the most welcoming environment I’ve ever entered. It was very respectful and I’m glad I was able to expose myself to people with similar interests as me before the school year actually started. The grading scale isn’t anything too difficult and there’s truly a class for everyone here. The students have difficulty following the Covid-19 guidelines and cases are rising for that reason but other than that, the school isn’t all that bad and I’m glad I decided to make the switch....

Alum: I graduated in 2021 and I still miss aspects of Central. Like pretty much all schools, there is good and bad. I met a lot of different types of people at central and experienced things that I know I wouldn’t experience at pretty much any other highschool in Iowa. There’s a lot of nice teachers who actually care about their students and the central culture is one a kind. The sports were always up and down in terms of how good they were but Central does have pretty good teams every once in a while. I met many people there that I’m still friends with today and I think Central helped prepare me for college and the rest of my life.... Read 193 reviews

Senior: I enjoyed a lot of the accelerated courses I took! The teachers genuinely cared about the well-being and mental health of the students that they were interacting with every day. The only reason I rated the school four stars instead of five is because of the lack of effort I have heard the general and some CP teachers have put in. Most of the courses I took that were not required, but I instead took as electives, I learned next to nothing from! Overall, the required education was very good for me personally, and I am extremely glad I was able to build strong connections with some of my teachers. I know that after I leave for college, I will be able to contact them with any help or questions I have!... Read 179 reviews
