not the most welcoming of places, a wider variety of science courses could be offered and more humanities, there should be an emphasis of electives and less pressure in required courses, more flexibility for those who are struggling (whether that be to keep up with the completion of schoolwork or with their mental health), staff that are properly equipped to deal with certain medical crises and/or emergency situations if those were to ever arise, mental health days should be a thing for kchs students, as well as students across the board, if only folks here were more understanding, service pets for helping students to cope and calm down in stressful and tense periods of time (such as final exams or during midterms or standardized testing), teachers should offer more help to students and extra credit, one person I've talked said and I quote, "they (being teachers) should grade on a curve." "that's all for now, folks."

Overall, Karns City High School is a positive place to attend. The teachers and faculty are generally helpful and kind. One complaint I do have however, is not having an opportunity to meet new people. The majority of students at Karns City have grown up together which allows for amazing friendships to form but also does not give students the opportunity to form new friends.

My experience at karns city high school was awful. I went there for seven years and witnessed teachers who are mean, students who are racist, and a love for bullying. The school board was incompetent and lacked basic human compassion.
