Born and raised in Waterloo, Currently 21. Went to Kittrell, Orange, Hoover middle, West High, Hawkeye CC, and currently University of Northern Iowa. West High school will more than prepare your child for their future. They offer a excellent education in whatever your child may seek interest in, as
Posted by a community member on 12/9/2022This school doesn't support children being bullied, and ignores the major role of protecting kids from violence.
Posted by a community member on 5/20/2021Teachers, administrators, or anyone else who works for west high is stuck up. I know that sounds over board but there are very few good teachers. If you get a class with a teacher for example like Mr. Young-Kent, Or Mr. Van Oort be very pleased. You can work as hard as you want and you either don't
Posted by a student on 1/26/2016Last year was our first year with my son as a sophomore. I was not impressed by conferences last year. We will see about this year. My son is a junior and says he does not like it. I feel like there are issues with the climate, safety, and overall tone at this school. This is my perception at this

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAnyone who thinks this school is a good place has clearly never had a truly good experience. Teachers are unprofessional and students are out of control. I regret moving to this school district. My kids have been exposed to more inappropriate behavior at this place than they have their entire life. It doesn't deserve a single star.Parent Review5y ago - Highland Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHighland is the definition of "train-wreck Waterloo." The two teachers who posted below seem to be scripted - "lack of parent involvement" must be a term someone teaches the employees to use. I have two children at this school and I absolutely dread every time I have to deal with the staff. One teacher we've experienced was actually a good teacher - even great. The rest have seemed quite under-educated, or at least under-developed. Multiple times our child has spent a good part of the day in the nurse's office and we never even received a phone call. I could go on and on but I think my point is already clear. Luckily I'll be going to graduate school next year and my children will be transferred away from Highland before the poor environment does any unrepairable damage.Parent Review11y ago - Blessed Sacrament School

The school is truly a hidden gem and our family feels so blessed that s family friend recommended the preschool so that we could discover ALL all that Blessed Sacrament has to offer.Parent Review8y ago - Sacred Heart School
