My children currently attend this schol and it has been a very difficult year for both of them. My son had a very tough time transtioning to middle school and when we met with the teachers, they did not seem to care.

There are those students who are fortunate to attend their school, because it helps them succeed. Then there are those schools that are fortunate to have the students they have because it helps the school succeed. This school is the later. It is in a great community (highly educated, high income,

Also, the district seems more concerned about protecting its' image and marketing their schools then providing the funds and focus to excel in the classroom. If you put this school in an community that had students with real challenges, I think it would be failing. Read less

I'm disappointed in Waukee schools. My daughter came to Waukee in 3rd grade, we found that Waukee is behind around 2 years from the West Des Moines Schools. We would have kept her in West Des Moines had we known this before hand. Waukee doesn't budget well enough to allow for extra activities, but

My daughter has been required to use the internet for dozens of assignments during the course of a year, not everyone has the internet! I've asked her teachers to keep in contact with me via email or phone, what's easiest for them, but none of them do. She's had F's in a few subjects and the teachers don't even contact me, the principal agreed that was not right. Read less

I could not have asked for more thoughtful, concerned people during

I've no idea what that other person was referring to on learning - my daughter has been very well taken care of that way. The teachers have been helpful, informative, have provided a good challenge, and seemed genuinely concerned with how and what the kids are learning. I couldn't ask for a better place for my daughter to be. The fact that she looks forward to school, and is excited about learning is something you just can't buy. Thanks, Waukee. --MR Read less

This school system is mediocre at best! They teach by degrading and humiliating. They are about 5 years behind in academics when compared to other states. The text books used in Elementary are 10-12 years old. If you have ever had your children enrolled in a GOOD public school, then you will be miserably
