Verona has a lot of AP classes to choose from which is great. However, they have this motto about "every student must succeed" which unfortunately means that the more advanced students are deemed well off and receive hardly any help to strengthen their education, whereas other students who do not demonstrate an avid interest in strengthening their learning or improving themselves receive lots of attention, almost too much. The coursework in non-AP classes is very easy and there are low expectations. There is a good athletics department, however, the social environment in the school is clique-y in general as well as within several sports.
I rate VAHS as four stars out of five because I do believe that this high school is a school that offers pristine education and has a balance of fun as well. Firstly, the academics are amazing. There's a variety of courses and they continue to tweak the curriculum as the world is constantly changing. I took this semester long elective called, "Gender in Literature." It was a new course and debuted in Fall 2020. In the class, we learned about LGBTQ+ people in literature and learned about the importance of having a variety of authors. High school is the time that students try to find themselves and understand their identity, so I'm glad that Verona is able to adapt and accommodate to their students. Something I believe the school could work on is communication from staff to the student body. Having a lack of communication leaves students confused on who to go to for help and we've had incidents where student found out about why the school was in a lockdown during the end of the day.
I've been in the district my whole life, my family moved so my sisters and I could attend Verona schools. My elementary experience I'll always remember as a positive, middle school on the other hand was a different story, but who really enjoyed middle school anyways. My high school career has been up and down, due to Covid-19 and personal reasons, but my senior year is going in a very positive direction. The district is very good about offering a wide variety of class options, so you can personalize your classes to what you want. They also added a new feature in PowerSchool this year so now not only can you choose your own classes you can also pick what hour and teacher you have.
