I would like to see more honors and AP math classes. I also think that there should be better options for your selective classes. The school cares more about sports than academics and their students education.

Public Schools might work for some people, but others want more for their kids. Genoa Kingston schools are below average. We need vouchers so that the people who want more for their kids can get it.
