While the school faculty/students had a lot of school spirit, the school did not give the students a lot of room to choose their classes. Specifically, the first opportunity to take an AP class--without a specific recommendation from a teacher--was for AP World History during Sophomore year. This compromises applications to Colleges because of the lack of an advanced courseload. Colleges want to take students who take challenging classes and show proficiency. This clearly puts students at this at a disadvantage when the majority of students only had access to 1 AP class for half of their high school career. Also, history classes only became available after freshman year. So they were additionally at a disadvantage from the gap year, where they most likely would forget the history they learned from years prior. However, the school did have very kind and intelligent teachers, who in Honors and AP, taught a challenging curriculum. The Art Department was very talented!
Graham-Kapowsin High School is a school of excellent opportunities. a great music and arts program, as well as several teachers who care very much about what they do and the children they teach. They like to make a point about non-discrimination, and it's very rare to see any bullying in the school. Go Eagles!
Overall this school is good, the teachers I have rarely disappoint. I also highly appreciate all the optional meetings for students to attend concerning college and scholarships. The career center is another lovely resource the school supplies, which allows the students to ask questions and get help with collage applications scholarships and any questions about high school and after high school opportunities. This school definitely prepares you for college and the future. All in all I would recommend to anyone in the area.
