Waterford Kettering High School

I would like to say thanks for the information good and bad to review. I'm in the middle of moving back downstate around the Waterford area and one of my biggest struggles is finding the right school that will fit my son's needs. This is his first year attending High School. He has a mild case of Autism and has a hard time remembering things. My only wish is that whatever school he attends I hope the teachers will be patient and give him the time and learning he deserves.

Waterford Kettering is one of the greatest schools because of it's leader, Josh Wenning. He is a strong advocate for kids and welcomes kids and parents into his office for all reasons and at all times.

It is a really great school, my son attended for two year and then switched to mott, his grades really dropped. Mott's teachers were no where near as good as ketterings. At kettering my son said they are more hands on, and pay more attention to their students. And at mott they dont focus on each child

Great Kettering administrators, wonderful teachers who encourage their students of all levels of learning. Fantastic office staff who know their students. Terrific music program - don't eliminate it.

I agree I to am paying over $300.00 to sylvan for reading help they should have been giving in the lower grades. They preach about diversity and getting along. Well when a teacher is throwing markers in the opposite direction of a student. Well what's wrong here. The teachers swear in the class rooms are special Educations kids are not getting the help they really need. Parents are trying to help avaicate for them and that hurts the student even more. Don't use the IEP's in the class room setting. You would be surprise what a special education student can do. It isn't all about who's the smartest. There are plenty of kids who are involved in sports outside of the school but do you see there name any where for what they do? No you don't. I will not stop fighting for my childs rights. One more year. Parent

I have a graduating senior and a freshman attending Kettering. The senior is near the top of his class and the freshman has always struggled a bit. I'm happy to say they have offered assistance for kids at both ends of the spectrum. Kids (and parents) have plenty of opportunity for involvement. Unfortunately many parents can't/won't participate it seems, but the ones that do are a big asset to the school. I have only had one teacher that I (and my son) had a problem getting along with. Most of the teachers go that extra mile for the kids. Overall, I have found Kettering to be much better than I had originally expected.

I have a daugther that graduated in 2006, and a son that is a sophomore at WKHS; I have to say that I have never felt disappointed, always teachers and the principals have been very supportative. Parents have to be the first key in their young persons life, work with the schools, keep tabs on their friends, grades, and keep them involved fully in something other than the IPod and texting. I have never felt ignored but then I would never allow that. WKHS has so many wonderful teachers and volunteers it is amazing, they care in fact I would say 95% of the teachers do far more then they are expected to do. WKHS has so many great programs for young people it truly blows my mind. They do care very much I would say more so then alot of high schools. I am more than happy and proud.
