Kempsville High School Reviews
Rating 3.61 out of 5 411 reviews
The last four years at Kempsville has helped me grow as a scholar and an individual. The community at Kempsville is like no other and I have developed quite a sense of belonging in everything I am involved in. I loved the atmosphere in and out of the classroom.
It was good, Football gave me a lot of experience, and the teachers helped out a lot and put effort in to help us.
Attending the Entrepreneurship and Business Academy at Kempsville High School has been an incredible experience. It has provided me with challenging courses that have encouraged me to embrace my inner entrepreneur. Through this school, I've met countless people whose contributions to my life will forever be cherished and communities where I can be with like-minded, similar students. The clubs and organizations here at Kempsville are great because they're very diverse, allowing any student to create a club for anything that other students may find interest in. An example would be the school's eSports club, which I started and am incredibly proud of. This club has helped me develop my leadership skills and provide great opportunities to many students at the school.
