We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Kingwood has taught me how to prepare for college, and I am very thankful for that. The only issue is that at Kingwood I do not feel safe there due to experiences I have had with lockdowns and the administration withholding information.
