I really really liked how everyone knew who everyone was. I also liked the diversity in the classes. It is also a good experience because you are able to connect more with the teachers and students.
What I did not like was that yes everyone knew who everyone was but sometimes it also made it easier to mess with each other or to get everyone into trouble. I also did not like how some people react towards a different person there. Sure, there are the lovely people but then you also have a few that are a little to much with their country ness.

At Kingsley-Pierson Community School, there are few teachers that their only job is teaching the students. Because Kingsley-Pierson is such a small school, many of the teachers here are considered coaches first instead of teachers. Therefore, most of them do not focus on bettering the students in academics, but instead focus on the athletic side of things. They also do not have a consistent grading scale equal to all students. Many of the teachers at K-P have their children enrolled in the school, and are slightly biased when grading them. However, some of the teachers here are good at their jobs and show a lot of knowledge in their subjects, and are interested in the students learning important skills.
Through my years at Kingsley-Pierson high school, my favorite experiences would be through extra-curricular activities. I am involved in almost all sports at K-P and some of my best memories are State dance, All Iowa Honor Dance Team, and sub state games in basketball. I also have had some great experiences on National Honor Society and have learned a lot through helping the community. However, if I had the chance to choose this school again, I would not. The parents here are all focused on sports and the benefits for their own children, and this has created a lot of tension between the staff at K-P and other parents. It has also caused stress for the students that attend this school. Because of all the focus on athletics, academics tend to get left behind at Kingsley-Pierson.
