My best experience at Justin F Kimball was when we had prep rally for the oak cliff super bowel. My worst experience is when I was in band and we had to march in the rain. The things I would like to see change is the uniforms.

My experience at Justin F. Kimball has been pretty good, I have had a lot of fun times and challenging times. My favorite class which is AVID, which is Advanced Via Individual Development, is my best class. The teacher makes it fun, entertaining, engaging, and relatable. He's helped us learn how credit works, loans, FAFSA breaks down, taxes, and college applications.

The school I attend has various reasons why students wont be successful such as the management and helping the students. The school stays tame and is a below average school.

The school does not know how to put students in the correct classrooms. Many students scored lower than average, yet They're in Pre-Ap classes, which adds at least 2 points to your semester average. It isn't fair to be putting students who want to graduate at the top of their class in regular classe...
