(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - West sioux school district has an extensive history of substantial bullying problems. So much so that both the state and the police have been called in for assistance by parents on numerous occasions. To date the district looks the other way and takes a "it's the way it's always been and bullying is just a part of growing up" attitude. We have heard that at least one set of parents might be filing a lawsuit against the district. The district is an embarrassment to what is an otherwise great educational system in iowa. If you are thinking about moving to Hawarden or enrolling your children in the West Sioux District I suggest you do plenty of homework.
