Kelso High School isn’t just mismanaged—it’s unsafe. The leadership team has allowed a toxic culture to take root, where bullying is rampant and rarely addressed in any meaningful way. Students know they can get away with it. Victims know they’ll be ignored. And the administration? They know too. They just don’t care enough to fix it.
Reports of bullying are met with empty platitudes or brushed aside completely. Parents are left in the dark. Teachers aren’t given the tools—or the support—to intervene. The result? A hostile environment where vulnerable students are left to fend for themselves while the bullies operate with impunity.
The leadership’s priorities are painfully clear: protect their image, not their students. They talk a big game about safety and inclusion, but when it comes time to act, they’re nowhere to be found. The lack of accountability is staggering. So is the damage it causes.
This isn’t just a failure in leadership—it’s a betrayal of responsibility. And until there’s a serious overhaul at the top, Kelso High School will continue to be a place where problems fester, and students suffer.
I've had a mixed experience at my school. While there are many positive aspects, such as dedicated teachers and valuable learning opportunities, there have also been instances of inappropriate student behavior and concerns that need addressing. It's my hope that the school continues to strive for improvement in fostering a safe and inclusive environment for all students.
It’s not the worst school but it’s not the best either. Most teachers are quite nice just a handful of pupils let it down , especially the younger years surprisingly as they can be quite rude , immature and even racist/homophobic.
