Being at Kearny High School was a good experience, I was given the opportunity to understand different career options in STEM and we got to interview people in the field as well to get a better understanding. I was able to join sports such as cheerleading and swimming. I did wish to have gotten more help when it came to colleges and scholarships.

I loved being a leader at this school because it was a challenge. I was required to think outside the box on how I could help Title 1 students at a school with little funding . As ASB President, I felt very safe and comfortable with the staff and student body here.

Let's be honest! The fact of the matter is that this is a bottom tier school district. It is easy to win awards and be recognized when even an average performance in most school districts is top performing in this one. This is a perfect example of how schools across the country are lowering their st...

I'm surprised to see any poor ratings for the school of Digital Media and Design. This is an excellent school and it has won all kinds of awards. The staff cares so much about the students, far more than any of the schools I went to as a child. This school is a model for how to fix our public school...
