Kent-Meridian High School Reviews

 
Technology academy is great, I spend 5 out of 6 classes behind a laptop provided by the school. I really love working with computers, and suits me best. No other high school around has a technology academy, where you take classes on a computer.

This school is amazing! The environment is completely unique and there are tons of oppertunities for students to succeed. KM has the best computers and technology in the district and is the only one in the area to offer the IB program. The only drawbacks are that there is a large amount of staff turnover and that the guidance counselors do nothing to help us get into college. But those are the only negitive things! KM does not deserve it's bad reutation... at all.

I love this school. As a (soon-to-be) alum of K-M, I have to say it really is a top-notch highschool. The IB program is rigorus and thoroughly prepares students for college and beyond. Teachers and administration are always looking out for what's in the best interst of the student. KM is one of the most diverse schools in the area, providing students a well-rounded educational experience. Due to some recent technology grants, Kent-Meridian is leading the way in the Kent School District; each classroom is outfitted with a 'smart board', projector, DVD player, and document camera. I strongly encourage parents to go and visit KM so they can see how wonderful this school really is!

This is the most diverse school I have attended ad that's great but this is not a very hand s on school and they seem to lack in the technology department

Kent Meridian has perhaps the best English Language Learning program in the country. They do a great job dealing with one of the most diverse populations of students anywhere.

This school has a bad rap, but it has really improved its academic standards lately. If you walk into the school during the school day, you feel extremely safe, as the halls have no students lingering. If you peak your head into a classroom, you'll find that most students are learning, rather than sleeping or goofing off. My only complaint is that its difficult to get anything done over there if you have a request. Your best bet is to go straight to the teachers, as they seem to be able to pull more strings than the administration

It's good to see that I am not the only parent that thinks this school and district are absolutly garbage. The comments about the school and district administration are spot on. Parents, spend the money and place your children in private schools or send them to another district.

I think Kent Meridan's quality is getting better and I think teachers are trying to immprove the school.

This school is the best school in Kent! I Love you Kent Meridian

Lousy. Absolutely the worst school in the district. As a parent of a child who finally got so fed up with the nonsense from this school and the district, I put him into running start over at a local community college (at the District s expense thank you). At least there he will get a decent education. Seems school policy only applies to whom they want it to, when they want it to, and interpretation of policy changes by the moment. School security is totally out of control, they harass the kids continually, for reasons as petty as a bad attitude. Parents, do yourself and your children a favor, put them into another district
