I give a one star only because I had to plus I agree where it states "they give them what is required" ( only.).....BUT NOT WHAT THEY NEED. Special ed students in this school are dismissed emotionally, it's all about the "jocs"......if you have no choice and your child falls into ESE catagory, And yes they include parents but parents have no say......the staff for ESE decides it all.. you may want to remain active when it comes to bullying...yes it occurs often..... and on top of things in today's times, it's all about winning sports which gives a school a good name the principal and school crave.....the teaching and compassion of ALL students does not matter. Every ESE child we knew in our child's grade a few years ago, is either washes dishes part time in a restaurant being bullied by other staff.......or flaunders the streets daily with nothing to do. Their lives are actually lost and the state does nothing more unless your chilld has downs, then he or she may be the fortunate if you call it that, bagging in stores or bringing in the carts for the next 40 years of their lives...We were involved parents, attending all ESE meetings, reqiesting meetings with other staff, had our chid in church acivities for socialization and at the Y......went to town activities etc etc........ school years were wasted away .......ending useless. And "no child left hehind"? A joke! I am confident many schools have failed students in this country; Keene High is only one.

The teachers are dedicated and know their subjects. Parents turn out for theatre and music. Yet the staff are undermined by policies (homework does not count toward grade), "study" hall is noisy cafeteria, and a teacher who was punched 2022 needed surgery.

My son is a freshman this year at Keene High and the bullying and violence is out of control. Yesterday the ambulance was there again to recover a student who was beaten by another student. We will not be returning next year since the same people responsible for this unsafe environment were just reelected to do more of the same. It's so disheartening.

I graduated a few years ago and loved my experience at KHS. The staff really helped me love learning, and went out of their way to help me when I needed it. They nurtured my interests, pushed me to succeed, and challenged me to be a better person. I almost went to private school instead of going to the Keene public school system, but I am glad that I attended and got the experience and education KHS has to offer.

I graduated a few years ago and I have to say that Keene High School fully prepared me for the rigors of college and provided me with important skills that have helped me at work. Even the teachers I was not fond of, or the classes that at the time I felt were useless have actually been very important in helping me through school and work. Although the administration can be a headache sometimes, the teachers, the diversity of courses and the community are wonderful!
