Justin F Kimball High School was a great high school. I graduated In May 27th of 2025 and man that school was a great place. I met a lot of people and it was so fun. I played varsity soccer here at Kimball and it was so fun. I played for 3 years and man those 3 years were the best years of my life. But great things come to an end. Now I'm looking forward to pursuing my career in trade school and becoming an electrician. All the teachers in Kimball were so nice and fun to be around. most of them had nothing but positive energy. But the person I mostly was happy to meet at my high school was my soccer coach. He was the best person in the world and he was really nice to use and he always made soccer practice fun. This school was amazing and I'm going to miss all the fun times I've had in this school but on to pursue my career of becoming a electrician.

The school itself is pretty good but what makes the journey interesting is the people you meet. Including students, staff, faculty, etc. it can be a fun time if you really wanted to.

It's a good school, I'm in the dual credit program so I get the opportunity to graduate with two years of college already done and I can't complain about that :)

The teachers nor the students put effort to provide and receive a decent education. I didn't want to believe what other people said about Kimball, but it was all true. Its sad that students and teachers don't care about education.

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...
