As a student who would have given anything to not come to KM in freshman year, I can sincerely say I now love this school, and am very sad to be leaving this year. It is the only school to offer the IB program, a series of rigorous college-prep courses that look amazing on transcripts in the KSD, along with the Tech Academy. Even if our sports and academics aren't amazing, the student body has plenty of spirit and we're ready to be out there in the rain to support our fellow classmates. We are a family above everything, and a diverse one at that. The teachers care for the students to the extent where they will personally walk into the counselor's office and negotiate schedule changes so the student is able to take a certain class, spoken from personal experience. We are the underdog of the KSD, yes, but we are certainly more than the rumors you probably have heard.
Kent-Meridian is the worse school in the Kent School district. Check the stats for yourself before you place your child at this school. Kent-Meridian as a school has the worse WASL, SAT, ACT and Athletic records in the State. If you want your child to learn how to win and learn! Do not send them to Kent-Meridian
Technology academy is great, I spend 5 out of 6 classes behind a laptop provided by the school. I really love working with computers, and suits me best. No other high school around has a technology academy, where you take classes on a computer.
This school is amazing! The environment is completely unique and there are tons of oppertunities for students to succeed. KM has the best computers and technology in the district and is the only one in the area to offer the IB program. The only drawbacks are that there is a large amount of staff turnover and that the guidance counselors do nothing to help us get into college. But those are the only negitive things! KM does not deserve it's bad reutation... at all.
