I attended KMHS up until I had to have surgery. They promised they'd help me during the six weeks I had to take off and instead tried to fail me for missing days even though we had an agreement. They care more about dress code and test scores than they do the children. Although the best English teacher I ever had was at this school. Mrs. Kendrick alone could not make the school worth it she's a star amongst mediocrity.
Kings Mountain High School has fantastic programs for all the students. All sports, Band, Chorus, Drama, Business, Agriculture, Welding, Carpentry, Computer Technology, Early College, and Others. Worked there for 10+ years and saw very few incidents that would merit a transfer to Turning Point Academy. The Faculty and Staff are Excellent !
Back in the 80's, a student expelled for drinking in school came back on his dirt bike, drove around in the school on the bike, eventually ending up in the Administrative Hallway, where he proceeded to do donuts in front of the trophy case. At this point, he was confronted by Vice Principal, Payseur, paddle in hand. It was this turn of events that caused him to make the tactical decision to flee, on his dirt bike, down the numerous flights of stairs he had ascended. He was eventually apprehended by local authorities. That is the legacy of this educational establishment.
used to be a great school now they seem to only want children involved in sports or other activities ...they allow these children to pick on and bully the other children often sweeping it under the rug with the suggestion that your child should under no circumstance defend themselves Turning Point Academy will work with your kids when Kings mountain thinks they are not good enough with a higher graduation rate
