Well I at one time had great things to say about the school.I have put three children through the school system,all outstanding students my oldest is now at Clemson middle child married and raising a family and my youngest is still in school,her senior year and we cant wait to get out!!!The school had been great all this time until last year when a new coach took over the girls basketball team,in which my daughter was a player.Not only was she bullied and abused by vlahos(so called coach)she was isolated,at times not allowed to practice,belittled and just plain bullied by this little tyrant! My daughter is mostly a 4.0 student,loved and respected by all as a hard working loyal dedicated student,athlete and teammate.This again so called coach had some issues with me,and some other parents(so many parents they removed her as softball coach)and clearly took it out on my child,and a few others!! just a little background,my daughters first year with her,first practice she tells my daughter to,get this...to tell two of her friends who were going to try out,to not to bother,they wont make the team!!!"telling her player,to tell other inspiring players to not even try!!!!! and so much more

The Student that posted that 1 star review must be bitter about the annex system. I graduated in 2007 (before the annex), after transfering there from broadneck senior high in 2005 . Can I say BIG difference! They actually care here! Yea, not everybody cared, my old counselor took a diiferent job and they let some god-awful guidance counselor in . She was not uplifiting, kind or engaging. But despite her negative energy towards me (& a lot of other students of color) she could not bring me down. loved my teachers there, & the prinicipal. I was involved in keeping scores for the basketball teams (even though there is not one athletic bone in my body). I was in drama club and S.A.D.D. I loved it here. It was a complete 180 from the feel and culture of my old high school. Plus the school lunch was a total upgrade from the food served in anne arundel county. I came to that school with a crapper of a GPA (because of personal issues). But with encourgament, challenges and hospitality I became the student I once was. I think its a wonderful school, even my family saw the huge diference in me once I transfered there. I want my kids to go to KIHS, It was a wonderful experience for me.

I was in the first class to attended the KIHS annex. You do fell separated from the high school, but I wouldn't necessarily say this is in a negative way. It is a nice stepping stone from middle school to high school level education; you are with the students you have grown up with in middle school but now you are learning at the high school level, so there isn't any pressure the first year of not knowing anyone if you have been going to school since middle school or lower. If you are part of the annex you can participate in all after school activities that the Main campus students do. Overall I wouldn't say that the school is perfect, but no school is. Of all the flaws that our school has most are very small. I am a senior and I feel totally prepared for collegiate level studies thanks to KIHS.

This school is fully focused on sports-thats it. If you don't play football, field hockey, soccer, swim, or are on track, the teachers are colder to you. My friends miss school ALL the time for athletic events, and don't even get a slap on the wrist. The ninth graders are at the annex, like five miles from the high school. We aren't included in most high school activities, and we aren't accepted by the upperclassmen. They don't consider us a part of the school. A lot of students drink and do drugs, and those are mainly the athletes. Overall, i wish my parents would move me from this awful school. Oh

The school and its principal, Mrs. Hershberger are the epitomy of success. The goal for every student is to excel. The attitude is positive and there is no room for failure. It's the BEST!!
