South Kingstown has some of the best teachers, that being said most of the science department is lacking, the school is falling apart a bit. The food is pretty bad, and the administration is a bit of a joke among students because no one stays. The social studies and English departments are amazing, all of the teachers I've had go above and beyond.
Advice to middle schools coming:
1. take honors classes if you can, they aren't that much harder and you will have a much better experience.
2. Join sports! Sports at SK are amazing, if that's not your thing, the theatre club is very welcoming.
3. No one uses their locker unless you play sports and keep your stuff in their, so make sure you have a sturdy good quality back pack.
4. You are usually allowed to listen to music.

The teachers at South Kingstown High School are always trying to help students in any way they can. Extra and after school help is offered by almost every teacher. There are lots of clubs that anyone can take part in at the school. There are also lots of events available for student. However, since I have been attending High School, we have had multiple changes in our principle, vice principal, superintendent, and head administration staff. This has caused a type of disrespect for the head administrators by a considerable amount of the students.
South Kingstown High School is a wonderful school. Although the demographics are very white and mostly heterosexual, SKHS has teachers that are well-educated in minority groups and representation. All of my teachers honestly care about how their students are doing in class and at home. My only negative would be that the school's budget could be better spread. SKHS could put more money into the arts and newer materials (my English textbook was from 1986 and had been taped together). The teachers are going above and beyond every single day. South Kingstown High School excels in academics, fine arts, and sports as well as giving students the option to start clubs. Additionally, they have guidance counselors and school psychologists/resources for those struggling in any sense. Their safety plans have been expanded in the past four years and students can learn in a safe environment.
