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.
South Kingstown High School is an amazing learning environment. The teachers and administrators truly care for the students. Guidance counselors are particularly excellent in aiding students towards post-high school opportunities. The sports teams and music program at South Kingstown are incredible with students that truly exemplify school pride. Academics are great and classes that are not provided in person are, for the most part, provided online. The school is underfunded and the facilities need extreme renovations, but it is the people that make South Kingstown the amazing school that it is.
At South Kingstown High School, I loved the opportunity to grow as individual. With teachers and advisers always by your side to help you pursue your dreams, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. Along with this, I enjoyed the immense selection of sports and the community support for each sporting event. For things that I would like to see changed, I wish that the clubs and activities had more attention brought to them. Many students will create clubs and the community will not support the club. Overall, the district as a whole is outstanding and has many opportunities.
