This is NOT a review for DMD in particular. This is a general review for Kearny Educational Complex based on feedback from former and current students. Kearny has 4 small schools. 8th graders are funnelled into specific pathways depending on the small school. This can be a lot of pressure for students since most of them don't know what they want to have as a career yet. If they want to transfer to another small school, you have to have good grades AND the small school you're transferring to has to have space. If there's no space, you're stuck in the small school you're in. Each small school has one counselor. It's really hard to find information on events and updates as each small school operate separately. Their schedule and transcript can be very confusing. Students can take class at a different small school. If you need to retake a class, you need to make sure that the class name is the exact same or the new grade won't replace the old grade. They provide quarter and semester grades. Some 10th, few 11th, most of 12th graders have free period. Most 12th graders graduate a semester early but they highly "encourage" you to enroll to Mesa College for your spring semester of your senior year. If you attend SCC, you can take the most college classes compared to the other small schools who only take a couple or none. There's only one recurring AP class which is AP Computer Science Principles. BST has great internship opportunities for those who wants to be in healthcare. There's also the CNA and EMT programs offered if student has the capacity to do it. BST counselor is not as helpful when you're a senior. EID & SCC counselors will help you look over your college app if you take the initiative to see them. I'm not sure about DMD counselor. EID is project heavy and ideal if student want to make things. EID does not offer a lot of college classes. The principal is very strict and protective of the new building. Students cannot be in the be in the new building unless they have class. There is a study lounge area with tables but students cannot use it. If student is not paying attention, they can get a Spanish class even though they already took the LOTE and completed the requirement. As a parent, please pay attention because it's a waste of time for student, when they could've been taking a more useful class. Imin is great! Not ideal for transfers because you'll get behind. Students see the same people in their classes for most of 4 years.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the entire BST team at Kearny for their exceptional work and dedication. A special thank you to Shannon Garcia for her leadership, kindness, and professionalism.Throughout the years, and especially in 2025, your competence, patience, calm approach, and genuine care exceeded all our expectations. We are truly happy and grateful for everything you have done for Davi and for the positive impact you’ve had on his journey.Thank you for making a difference in his life.

The school was decent mediocre teachers that just want the paycheck. I remember taking biology here and getting this crazy teacher named Horowitz that to this day I don't know if she was bipolar or hated life or both. So, advice is to just switch out if she even still teaches there, and make sure to follow the very strict dress code.
