3/11/2021
I have attended Kensington Capa or the Creative & Performing Arts for all four years of high school. What I do like about the school is how the staff and some teachers are very involved in the students lives, they show they actually care and have a good student to teacher relationship. What I would like to see is more safety precautions.

I went to KCAPA all four years. I loved it, but there was a lot of stress and hardship through my high school experience. Administration is the worst part of the school.
2/3/2020
this school is just terrible. I cant wait to transfer, the principle is awful and doesn't take any action to make kids safer in the school, thank god she's leaving. The food is bad half the time it's cold or not fully cooked, and just tastes all out bad. The school is filthy, bathrooms are always nasty. most of the staff are rude, when we get checked in the morning for phones sometimes the security guards get way too comfortable touching us. phones are not kept in safe containment and are never given back properly, its not shocking when kids say they got their phone stolen because of how bad our school is poorly managed. i pray this school can fix everything but from how it is now i see no hope for it

I would say a good 8 out of 10 because everything i do and get done easily and no one interferes with anything I do and look up to you just don't let the students bite you to much and make sure you stay on someone with power good side
