The best part - academics and experiences available. I was able to take through Calc 3 at my highschool and am going to France with my French class in the spring. The worst part - discrimination against any minorities. I'd like to see my school take more action to protect minorities as well as educate students and teachers to not be discriminatory. I understand politics may get in the way of this but I hope my school will stand up for what is right.

I have been a Kenston student for 7 years and have participated in multiple sports activities as well as clubs and organized events. I can only say that Kenston school district is determined to make the best of their students and help them in the accomplishing of the academic dreams.

I would choose Solon or Aurora who’s distinct’s are growing vs Kenston who’s enrollment has gotten so low, the eighth graders students are now a part of the high school. Teachers truly care and are great! Socially, it’s a very hard district to break into if you haven’t been there since Kindergarten....

Kenston is a great school, with amazing teachers, counselors and staff. Moving from out of state, my child was accepted easily and the thinking seems to be more progressive and open minded. Prepares students for college, and also for other paths they may choose.
