Academically, Kempner High School has a wide variety of options when it comes to classes, something that became very useful to me in my journey of figuring out what it is that I wanted to study in university and pursue a career in. However, the social environment was largely very toxic. I at least enjoyed that it was very culturally diverse.

Since 9th grade, I was enrolled in Kempner High School. I was met with new faces, facilities, and an overall new environment. However, Kempner offered a free space for me to easily communicate to my peers while participating in learning activities. For this I am grateful; however, some changes I would like to see in Kempner is the combined lunches.

My experience with this school was not good. While this school is academically rigorous and competitive the environment it fosters is competitive. You can feel the tension in the air. Teachers cannot teach if you know, you know. Some teachers are creepy. Their behavior is weird towards the students.

The school used to be among the best in all areas, but in recent years has become one of the worst. There is little discipline enforcement by administrators, which allows less time for teachers to do their job. I sent multiple kids to the school through the years, and it was a much better experience...

Excellent school. Our eldest is graduating this year with college scholarships and we are excited to send our other daughter to this school

The staff are rude and disrespectful to the students and all the students have simple solutions but the principal won’t listen to reason because she’s being difficult. Simply to put it a small group of 4 or 5 people making a bad decision to fight shouldn’t result in punishing the other 2,000 student...
