Klahowya Secondary

I have been to over 7+ schools, due to military, so I know the feeling of not fitting in. So I dedicated my time to studying, and Klahowya does not have the best library around, however it does its job. I love the fact that, its not really a home environment, but a friendly work environment. Highschool is the hardest time for a kid to fit in, and if you don't fit in with one crowd you are welcomed in another. Whether you be a nerd, jock, emo, ect. Klahowya is not a sports school, in my opinion its more of an arts school. You can find creative kids anywhere in the school, and you will find kids carrying around sketchbooks. The marching band is the best, placing 1st or 2nd in any competition, and there is plenty of kids in marching band, with their handful of percussionists XD. So Klahowya isn't a sports school, not the end of the world. Another thing about Klahowya is the classes. The teachers I have had are amazing, they work with you if you are falling behind or slow. However, they won't babysit you and tell you over and over again if you need to turn something in. I wish I could write more, but I gave my rating based on my opinion, now I am running out of room. Anyways, Thanks

I've gone to kss for three years now, and everyone there is pretty chill. Way less pressure to fit in than other schools I've been too. I take grades seriously and am in honors/ap classes, and they're all good. The students and teachers are mostly very accepting people and that's pretty rare in high schools.

Klahowya seems to play second fiddle to the other schools in CK school district and I am not sure why. Their sports programs are not as good as some others but this school is top notch and we love it here.

I homeschool my 8th grader. I used to homeshcool my other one, who is now in 10th grade at Klahowya. I am now going to take him out of 3 of his classes and start him in the off campus program. I agree with the person who posted on Aug. 28, 2005. They haven't changed since then. You still get notified when an assignment wasn't turned in, but not when something is due before it's due. My son is failing 3 of his classes, partly because of him, but also because I don't know when tests are, and he doesn't write it down. The school makes it mandatory to buy a student planner, but then doesn't make the student use it. What good is that?

Klahowya Secondary School is about as good a school as someone could hope for. Currently attending Klahowya in the 11th grade. My school experience so far has been excellent. Apart from a few members of the staff, the teachers are excellent and in general are good instructors. Like some of the other reviews, I do agree there are some staff who are not ideal, but these people are few and far between. The sports program does fine for its size, and the oppurtunities for students are plentiful. Also, other activities abound for most interests. I feel that any student who cares about learning will attain the education and school experience they want. Also, one of the better features of this school is that there are much less societal and environmental pressures commonly seen at other schools. Sure, Klahowya has its faults, but what school doesn't? Klahowya Secondary School is great.

I have had two kids graduate from Klahowya and have one there now. I hate it. Some of the staff is OK, but there are many many more that are ambivilent to teaching. There are teachers that hold grudges and are just mean. I have bever seen anything like it in my life. Iaam constantly having to run interferance between a teacher and my child.If I wasn't a a single Mom I would homeschool, but right nowI have to work, so that is not an option. If you have a choice, do not send oyour kids to this school

I am now a college freshman that spent all six years at klahowya, i greatly appreciated my time at the school and have a lot of fond and dynamic memories. This school really alowed me to focus on my education and the counseling staff is absolutely amazing and willing to do anything to help a student in need. The teachers overall care a lot about their student's success. I took six AP courses, graduated with a 3.55 GPA, got into every school I applied to including UW. If you use the resources available this school will offer you great success with your child!
