My life changed when I enrolled in King College Prep H.S. It was a good turning point and helped increase my self-image. I excelled in academics and it raised my self-worth. I also learned from my high school experiences that having your own space, big or small, that is dedicated to people who share your cultural, racial, and ethical norms that promote growth was the best space for me. My high school setting was the perfect combination of academic rigor, cultural pride, and extracurricular activities to help me soar. .

Very good support for ADHD, very inclusive to everyone.

I have unfortunately transferred from this school as a rising junior. If you are the academic type then you would probably enjoy it here. This school lacks well rounded extracurricular activities, partially due to the physical size of the school and also the general indifference of the administratio...

The school has terrible relations with parents students teachers and students
