Attended basketball games there (January 2025). The racial slurs and poor sportsman ship among the students was nothing short of disappointing. One can only imagine what life in the community outside the class can be like.

Kenyon Wanamingo is a great school. It is small enough that everyone knows you and what you care capable of doing. It is large enough that you have opportunity to try many different things. No school is perfect, but KW is great at making sure their students are prepared for the real world and they work hard every day to make sure their graduates are prepared for their next step.

If I was able to choose if I would go to Kenyon Wanamingo again, I definitely would. It obviously has its ups and downs, but every school has that. Many people think that KW is awful and too much drama, but it depends on what group of people you hang out with because I never dealt with that. I liked how small of a school it was because I was able to get to know all of my graduation class and the teachers. For how small the school is, there are plenty of AP and honors classes to choose from as well.
