Kenston Forest School has become a major part of my life. I transferred my tenth-grade year to hopefully better my education. Little did I know it was going to be rather difficult for me to adjust, but eventually I did. I now realize how much Kenston has helped me grow and excel as a person and academically.

Kenston Forest has an excellent family environment that always makes students and families feel welcome. I have been a student at Kenston since I was in pre-school, and I am now a senior. I feel that Kenston has sufficiently prepared me for my college years ahead.

Admin is poor. Of course employees become what their leaders expect. Poor teacher student relationships. Mission statement is dishonest. Teacher and Admin create problems for students and make it a hostile environment. Bullying by teachers and students is tolerated. They make up rules as they go and throw the student handbook to the wind. Everything has gone down hill and continues to decline quickly. The attitude and culture of the school is poor. Do not send your child here until administration changes and even then proceede with caution. There are a few great people who will sell the school as an amazing place but don't be fooled. The STEAM lab is not what they sell it as and has been a huge disappointment. They say they are project based leading but all my children do is read text and answer multiple choice questions. Arts and music are far behind other schools. This school is under the curve for modern Edu. If your child is smart send them to the public school for free.

Very rude and discriminatory toward children that do not fit into the 'cookie cutter' ideal that they wish to portray.

Needs Improvement in several areas. Overall communication tends to be last minute in regards to closing, delay, and sports information.
