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.

It is quite a small school so I was hard to fit in when I transferred there my junior year. A lot easier to get to know your teachers and classmates because everyone knew everyone. If you like a small, close-knit school I would definitely recommend it.

In Keyport we were a family. I can say this because Keyport is very small, the Central School is a block over and all of us 2019 graduates have known each other since preschool. Keyport really excelled in school spirit and drove students to join clubs and other events. It gave us a sense of individuality making it a great set up towards college.

I believe the teaching depended on the type of classes you were enrolled in. For example, I was enrolled in AP courses throughout my high school years - these teachers therefore attempted to challenge us and push us to be successful because our voluntarily decisions to join them meant we wanted the toughest knowledge and preparation for college. However, I don't believe some standard classes have teachers that would really attempt to guide their students towards being the most productive and successful as they could be because the classes themselves were required. My high school was never known for being challenging; therefore, if you wanted to do the best and push for the greatest success, you had to be as involved as possible.
