With GK being a smaller school you are still able to join a lot of different programs. I was able to be a part of many clubs, band and play sports.

I like the small-town values but the number of advanced classes available is pitiful and I would like for more to be offered.

I loved the teachers. They really cared a lot about their students success in school and would always jump at any chance they had to help. Something I would like to see change is fairness. A lot of teachers, coaches, and even higher up staff would play favorites based on their relationship with each student and would give the same equal treatment to another student.

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.
