The experience is really good for a public school. I would say it's comparable to many private schools.

Kenston High School is a very good school. It's not perfect but it gets the job done. The one thing I find useful is the 4 block system. I find that it gets us ready for college classes as it's 80 minutes. Another thing is they have help all around. After school tutoring, and any teacher is more than welcomed to help in the morning or after hours. The school goes out of there way to make sure its students are happy and satisfied. Due to Covid-19, my senior year was limited but I was still able to have my two seasons of sports, plus a senior night, along with well-organized prom. I went to school all year as well, so I was able to have a semi-normal year.

I would choose Solon or Aurora who’s distinct’s are growing vs Kenston who’s enrollment has gotten so low, the eighth graders students are now a part of the high school. Teachers truly care and are great! Socially, it’s a very hard district to break into if you haven’t been there since Kindergarten....

Kenston is a great school, with amazing teachers, counselors and staff. Moving from out of state, my child was accepted easily and the thinking seems to be more progressive and open minded. Prepares students for college, and also for other paths they may choose.
