The best parts are the people, and the freedom you have to forge your own connections and see people from different backgrounds and different point of views. The worst would be the lack facilities that cater to student needs.

Kemp is not a happy school but it is growing. The teachers are nice and educated but sometimes a bad seed gets tossed in with them. The administration constantly underestimates their staff and treats them poorly. The administration also rules on fear knowing they don't have replacements for teachers. The school has a terrible bullying problem and Kemp is known for their racey choices such as giving white people lesser punishment than people of color. But this town and school are definitely small and ready to grow. if you want a tight nit community and people to help support you this is the place. There is no place like kemp with culture dating far back and school pride that is unmarveled.
