As a recent grad I went to 3 different high schools and this was about the most unpleasant. The kids are very reluctant to acknowledge anyone they havent known since they were small, the school is mostly well 92% non ethnic being mixed and stepping into this school sure was uncomfortable, the teachers are extremely unprofessional and play too much into favoritism and example would be mostly concerning the sports and art departments. Racist remarks are obviously heard and NOT DEALT with I think the amount of homework is a bit extreme (You get it every single day even on weekends no matter what grade you are in) and the gym classes are ROUGH my senior gym class consisted of me and another girl and 20 other boys and there was a game created that was like dodgeball but with hard inflated volleyballs being pegged at you resulting in at least one person being sent to the school nurse (who was also very unpleasant and unprofessional) and this game was played everyday for almost a whole month despite my moms concerns after my own multiple visits to the nurse. This school was biased, had lazy teaching methods, unprofessional and my overall experience was uncomfortable. The counseling team was the only great thing about this school they were always available and ready to listen to what you have to say they’d remember and they really cared about you and what you had to say.

Our youngest daughter moved to KRHS from FHS when it first opened, and though everyone was enthusiastic about the "new school" it was difficult to leave the long-standing traditions and familiar faces behind. The students, as well as the faculty and staff, really rose to the occasion and developed school spirit, established traditions, and had enormous pride for what they collectively accomplished. It was impressive. Academically, we couldn't have asked for more. It was truly challenging (without too much drudgery) and was definitely rigorous enough to prepare students for VA's stellar state universities. For example, our daughter tested into junior level French her freshman year at university even though she had only completed French III (honors) at Kettle Run. The handful of negative experiences that prevent me from giving Kettle Run a full five star rating really boil down to management issues within the Athletic, and extra-curricular programs. I can only hope these have resolved themselves with time and the persistence of parents and students calling for change. Overall, we couldn't have asked for more and are grateful to have been a part of the KRHS family!

Good school for avarage/above avarage student. Unfortunately, getting LD support for your child is pretty tough at Kettle Run.
