The North Kansas City High School (NKCHS) can be seen as one of the most diverse schools in the North Kansas City School District. Teachers here at NKCHS are very helpful when it comes to almost any questions you need. Although the teachers are friendly, the administration is another thing. They are strict on what they require students to do and may not listen to students and teachers as much as they should. In a senior meeting, the admins refused to listen to us when they decided to change the school schedule. When a student was talking to the admin, the admin replied, "I am not here to be challenged, I am here to answer questions." Which everyone found was disrespectful but students here have little power to persuade the school administration unless it benefits the school. The admins care more about how the school looks from the outside rather than how it really is. I wish there were more changes that would benefit the students, but we do not have much power to speak out.
This school is a mixed bag if I have ever seen one. I am in my junior year at North Kansas City High School, and though I believe some of my bad experience is due to the ongoing pandemic, there were many things that could have been changed to help me and others succeed. Many of the teachers at this school foster toxic and unwelcoming classroom environments and try pushing their opinion onto students. There are clubs and great opportunities here, but those opportunities don't matter if you are under stress in the classroom. You forget everything else. They treat teachers and janitors badly, last year they refused to give the teacher of the year a raise after his students said how wonderful his class was and how enjoyable it was for them to learn even during a pandemic. That being said there are so many opportunities for students here. We have an IBDP and CP (career-related program) that helps students immensely and we have resources. That's why my review is 2 stars-more bad than good.
Throughout the pandemic, the school principal and faculty were very helpful. Making sure every student was as safe and protected as possible!
