Parent: Great teachers. Excellent facilities. Lots to offer students in terms of course offerings and extra curricular options. The community has lots to offer. My kids would say the feel safe at school and enjoy being around the other kids. I love that the middle school and high school are connected. It made it easy to get my middle school aged student to school as he was able to get a ride with his sister.... Read 20 reviews

  Rating 4.09 out of 5  11 reviews

Alum: It's a great small town community high school. The class sizes are small and you get to know everyone in the school. Because of this the teaching is much more personal and anyone can get help whenever they need it. The teachers are nice and it is an all around wonderful community to grow up in. Parents and students are heavily involved in setting up and going to sports events, kids fun night, homecoming, prom and anything else you can think of. It has some downsides such as the food program and a lack of classes and clubs due to the small size (specifically in technology related areas). However the faculty there wants you to succeed and will make you feel welcome.... Read 11 reviews

  Rating 3.67 out of 5  9 reviews

Senior: Kingsley Pierson was a super safe and welcoming school to grow up at. The sense of community is strong and is a great place to learn and grow academically. I feel as if the school has well prepared me for what is to come in the near future as I continue my education at a higher level. The teachers are respectable and considerate, however they hold students to a high level of achievement. The one thing I would change about Kingsley Pierson however is the amount of student diversity. Our school is not diverse and the student population is largely white. Not to mention that our teachers and staff are all white. It would be nice for students of minorities to have others to relate and look up to in a professional work environment. Besides this issue however Kingsley Pierson was an overall great experience for me and I would 100% recommend that parents send their children/teenagers here. They will grow and flourish in the richness of the academics offered in this small and great school.... Read 9 reviews
