We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Kennett High School is the best high school in Dunklin County Missouri. There is barely any changes that could be added to this school.

My high school is not a large school by all means. I do not get to choose who to hang around, I have to be around everybody. Some teachers have been disrespectful towards me and expected me to respect them back, which is not right. Other than those flaws, I have made my high school experience the best I could, it sure did fly by. We have had good fun times and hard times also, its high school.

If I had the choice, I would have attended a different school. This one isn't terrible, but the opportunities are quotes as abundant as I would like for them to be. One good thing though, is that it's in a close knit community.
