I am a sophmore at KPHS i however went to GCP from 5-8th grade. There were times when I said that I was ready to leave or that it was to stressful for me to handle. I finally realize that it was the best for me. I could have gone to Warren County High but I wouldn't have made the friends that I did.

But all in all we are a family and when my family was fallen apart my KPHS family was pickin me up. You can bash them or say they go to school to long and have to much homework , but in the end I don't know where i would be without them today. Read less

I loved GCP since the moment I stepped into the building. The teachers are interesting and really care about students. I learned so much, not only academically but also about social issues around the world. After graduation from GCP, I continued on to their high school, KIPP Pride High School. Here the
... Read more teachers have a lot of trust in the students and there are so many opportunities for those who want them. Unfortunately I was only at KPHS for two years because with the help of Ms. Sanborn, who continued to believe in me even when I didn t, I was accepted to NCSSM (The North Carolina School of Science and Math), at which I'm currently a junior. KPHS is an academically rigorous school, but your children will gain much more than just an education by being constantly surrounded by outstanding students and amazing teachers, (not to mention an exceptional principal!) :) Read less

Overrall this is a good school. The only problems is the teachers are always on the students and not in a good way. They look for flaws in the students in order to fuss at them and cause trouble. Also the teachers are not as stellar as they may seem.
