My experience at Roy C. Ketcham Senior High School has been transformative. The best part has been the supportive teachers and diverse opportunities, from academics to extracurriculars, which helped me grow and discover my passions. However, the lack of consistent funding for clubs and programs limits their potential. I'd like to see more resources dedicated to these activities to benefit all students.

My experience at Ketcham has been very good. I have been a part of the varsity tennis team for 4 years, and have been the number 2 player for 2 of those years. Academically, I'm doing very well. My unweighted GPA is 3.5, and my weighted GPA is 3.3.

Throughout the past four years at Ketcham I have been surrounded by dedicated, compassionate teachers. They have inspired my love for learning and encouraged me to follow my goals/passion. My counselor at RCK, has been very helpful to giving me advice on course selections and believing in me to take AP, honors and college courses. Ketcham also has a lot of great music and arts programs, they have provided me with joy throughout my day and have taught me new skills to become a better musician and artist.

My child did not participate in many extracurricular activities, but that was not for lack of choice. RCK offers a ton of sports programs, drama, debate, robotics, music, art...too muc...

It was winter I had to get a blue pass from the main office lady, who didn't know my personal life at all when I showed her my paper to explain my absence she looked at it and immediately said "I don't think family emergency cuts it.", but what she didn't know was that my grandpa died.

As a former student ('13) , I have mixed feelings on this school. On one hand, there are so many opportunities. There are AP and honors classes, business classes that actually apply to the real world, after-school activities, and sports. If you get involved in a lot of things such as these, you will...
