Overall a good high school,but could use work in focusing on academics more than sports. Most teachers are young and don't give the best education,but overall a decent school.

I believe Simon Kenton to be a fantastic High School that engages students effectively. My only complaint would be that there are certain teaching staff their that under perform when it comes to teaching kids effectively.

I loved being in high school. I loved the people there and the teachers are so nice and they are very supportive and are always there for you and they make it known. The administration is very supportive as well. There are many variety of classes that you can take throughout all 4 years of being there. The sporting events were always fun and I played soccer all 4 years and It was nice to experience that

History teachers unfortunately love dad jokes :/ Overall pretty good experience, classes are pretty easy...
