Ok I graduated Valedictorian. I can spell and type correctly on a computer. So anyone who wants to say Kinston is not up to par with other Schools, just read this before you decide where you want your child to go. Kinston is the only School around itself presently that requires a 8 page college level
... Read more research paper in the 10th grade. Most schools around don't require it until the 12th grade. English 101 in college normally requires 4 essays and 1 research paper. What school around Kinston can compare to that...? None. And as far as Math goes....I always had an A. Algebra I, II, III, Trig, Pre-Cal, Geo, and Statistics are the curriculum for grades 9-12. Not 4 of those....all of those. ACT scores and excellent enough for most students to get scholarships for college. Teachers are eager to help as long as students are willing to learn. Read less

If you have the chance to go to KHS I would recommend it to everyone. Read less

I am a proud graduate of KHS. I have 2 boys ages 9 and 10 that are also KES. I attended Andalusia High School for 2 years and was not doing well at all. The teachers in larger schools seem to be more focused on politics more so than the importance of the education itself. At KES and KHS your child will

Here at KES and KHS you are given a fair and challenging start to further your education. Those who dont see it that way have not kept a good line of communication with the teachers. I hope this is helpful to someone. I know that we are proud of KES and KHS! Read less

I have two stepsons in kinston. One is in the first and the other's in the fifth, and I have a doughter in the first grade at Andalusia Elemetary and in comparison the boys can't keep up. She reads, writes, and spells at a higher success rate than the boys. She also took the sat's and didn't make one
... Read more error. The child in first grade at Kinston struggles to spell, read, and write. As a student someone might view things differently. As a parent, I see the big difference in the academic requirements. The boys are extremely smart, just not worked well with at school. They have great potential, just no teacher to mold it. I've taught them more than their teacher. My 7 yr old reads better than my 11 yr old. Difference in parenting? Not hardly, just the requirements and academic settings that surround them each day.

Although I only graduated with twenty-four other students from Kinston High School, there is no place I would be prouder to call home.

I hope I am fortunate enough one day to send my students to KHS, because it is a truly wonderful place for an education. Read less
