Best parts of my experience being at John C. Kimball High is how I was able to make good memories with friends and being able to reach out to my counselor whenever I needed help applying for colleges. The worst experiences I've had at Kimball was how often the fights used to be when I was a freshman, but now that issue's heavily resolved, but sometimes they still happen. It's not threatening to the safety of the students, but incidents still happen in which others don't feel necessarily safe, so I'd like to see some change in that.

My experience at this school wasn't necessarily bad but it is not the greatest experience. The school has a lot of drug problems and fights. The teachers are not very good at provided children with the necessary help that they need. The administrators are very good though and if you have a concern with something they will always make sure to do something about it.

John C Kimball is a very fun school. However, in recent years there has been many school fights and false fire alarms, likely due to smoking or vaping in the bathrooms.

If only, I repeat if only someone would take ownership of the pool. Could someone fix the temperamental heating system? Could someone make sure the pool is covered when not in use? This is a major one***, could we get a philanthropist to fund a changing room/bathroom built next to the pool and a qua...
