I like the school's academics and clubs. I would appreciate if all the sports got better. I also like how diverse the school not only in the student body but also through the work facility. The Kew-Forest School teachers prepare the students for college as long as the students do their work. The safety is overall getting better.

After some administrative turnover in 2015-2016, the upper school has stabilized and is moving in great directions.
