I am a Senior for the class of 2009. The band does have a wonderful reputation. As does the choir. Both Band and Choir have taken 1s and 2s consistently. Mr. Redfearn is by far the best choir director that the school has had not to be exceeded by Bushey of course. Also the administration is very caring.Also the Athletes are treated the same as the out casts thank you and please conisder Kearsley its a great great school
As a student here of course I dont really care for the school. The students are rude, mean, etc. The teachers don't feel like going the extra mile for their students. The math teachers dont help the students as well as they sould. The athletes get away with so much and the 'outcasts' get caught when the athletes usually are the ones doing more bad stuff (smoking, drinkin, etc) Overall I wouldnt suggest the school. Send your child elsewhere.
My son graduated from Kearsley in 2003. I graduated from there in 1980. I think that it is a very community oriented school, which is a good thing. They have cliques like other schools, but overall, I would consider it a good school, both from a parent's and a student's point of view. They have a nice balance between sports and fine arts.
My children attended Kearsley schools. Oldest graduated after working very hard under some very unfortunate circumstances and the other has been pulled out entirely. Administration and faculty accountability are a huge issue. Nonathletic students and those who are not at the top of the social ladder will find themselves at a disadvantage. Teachers at the elementaries and middle school do not prepare students grammatically for the higher grades and substandard work is accepted. Shockingly, I encountered elementary teachers that encouraged me to medicate my child. Obviously academics were not the priority. Much tension exists in the community. Students are secondary to administration and faculty wants and needs. Kearsley has an excellent band program that is sadly overlooked when compared to its contemporary, the school choir-which is overrated. I encourage parents to look elsewhere for an empowering educational experience for their children.
