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 think Simon Kenton is a great school. I enjoy being part of the baseball program. The teachers and administrators are helpful and genuinely care.

My time at Simon Kenton hasn't been terrible. My first year they exemplified their accessibility by allowing me to do fully online school because of health related issues. Most of my teachers were awesome with few exceptions. They offer a lot of higher level courses especially in math.

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