The Kingston City School District is a well-funded municipality that focuses in on the needs and concerns of students. Although the elementary and middle schools in the district do not boast equal ammenities to those of the high school, the elementary schools never seem to be lacking in any physical necessities. These schools are opportunistic with musical, athletic, and STEM based extracurriculars. The mental health support for students is strong with each grade having their own designated social worker. In addition, high school students are given opportunities to see real-life career experience through the BOCES and New Visions programs, conveying support for students regardless of individual career choice after secondary education.
My experience in the Kingston City School District had been overall positive. I think the best part about Kingston High School is the resources provided. There is a wonderful library, many computer labs, support resources, homework help, and even free online databases. I think something they could improve on is supporting art and music students. Kingston High School students show great promise and many art and music students, including myself, who will graduate have gotten into some of the best art schools in the world. But the art and music budgets are constantly threatened and the teachers undervalued. The school has amazingly talented art students, and they must start advocating for their success.
Since I am homeschooled, I will be rating the homeschooled community in the area as a whole rather than my home, since I will obviously have a skewed bias in both directions. At times the district officials were difficult to work with, and my mother had to work to not jump through different hoops every year. However, we were able to complete our paperwork and neither my nor my siblings paperwork has been turned down thus far. The homeschool community in the Ulster County and surrounding area is incredibly diverse and everyone does a good job of supporting everyone else. This extends to social events, college preparation, resource sharing, and the interaction with the local schools themselves.
