King's Fork High School

Teachers and principals don’t care. A lot of bullying and a little bit of learning. It’s no wonder why Suffolk Public Schools are ranked much lower than VA Bch and Chesapeake.

For as much taxes I pay to the City of Suffolk, I am disappointed with their schools' education of my children. Where is the money for education being sent to? To pay businesses to move into the city, give them below market prices on land while cheating our youth out of a decent education? There should be an investigation by citizens of the city council and the school board. Just because there seems to be more minorities in the school system is not a reason to cheat those kids out of a quality education.

my daughter is in the SpEd community, their approach is always going to be different than the rest of the school.

For my family, the SpEd community of teachers, paras, and other professionals has been amazing!

While she was attending in person, you could see that the students in the other class were kind and compassionate to the students in the SpEd community.

The new principal began just a few short months before the pandemic shut downs. I think he's doing as best a job could be expected in these crazy times.

The SpEd community of teachers, administrators, and professionals is amazing!

My child has no experienced this so, I don't really have an answer.

We had a rough transition from our previous school but we are a military family and that is to be expected. The first year my daughter was there, they were open to meeting me at any time I had concerns. High marks from me.

No more letting kids slid. Everyone is held to the same standard.

Much improved these last few years. Engaged teachers and admin staff. Student learning is up and discipline issues are way down. Comparing the demographics to other schools, this one is really outperforming the other high schools in Suffolk.

I loved the school when I went there. The teachers there are nice the building is still new its not old. I just love how you could get to know some of the kids there really well I Wish I was still at that school to day.

Kings Fork is a Great School! The kids/parents rating this school, came to this site to complain and the more complaints, the less rating. It's really not a good system for rating the schools. Not many people do surveys unless they have something to complain about. If you are from out of the area, this site might not be the place to get the real rating. Drive a neighborhood, ask parents what they think of the schools here. You might be surprised!!

As a current student at Kings Fork High School. There are a lot of good and bad points. The administrators always focus on the small, petty things like: tardys, Dress code, Tresspassing, ect. When it's time to go home, many students are left to ride second load and usually get home at 3:30 when we get out at 2:15. It could be the hotest or the coldest of days and the administrators force the students outside in the heat/cold. They even go as far as threatening suspension for roaming the halls so escape the winters cold or the springs heat. The teachers at this school are not always helpful, some of them act as if they don't care one bit. The teaching style is horrid, some teachers don't even know what they are doing. The school charges way to much for lunch (really does). As a stated before, the school focuses on the petty stuff when they should be focusing on our academics. Instead of suspending us for the dumb stuff they accuse us for. they should try to keep us in the school so we all can learn and graduate on time.

This school's lack of discipline is outrageous. The students do and say whatever they please. They openly text on the phone in class, eat & drink, in class, sleep in class, lesson to their ipods, disrupt class and no one does a thing about it. All the teachers look exhausted and like they have given up. I feel very sad for the few students who actually care about their education. I blame the administration completely

As a previous student of KFHS, and three years post-grad, I can honestly say I don't miss this school. I originally started in Va Beach programs and when I came to the Suffolk area I was highly disappointed with the school system as a whole. They do not offer the advancements that many students really need and strive for and if you don't "fit into the mold" you aren't of much worth. And the lack of discipline and control is outrageous. And the lack of support from the administration for the staff or even at times for the students was sad. On more than one occasion I found myself sitting in the principals office having to defend my grades and making copies of all of my assignments because my teacher was losing them and failing me. I don't want to discourage parents from allowing their children to go there because it will never change if everyone leaves. But if you do allow your students to stay in the system, stay on top of your student. Check their grades and listen to them when they tell you they are having a problem with another student or administrator. There was a lot of fabulous people there and there are also a lot that aren't high on the standards. Hope this helps.

I personally think that this is one of the best schools, judging on the fact that I now live in New York city and I attend a school that is thought of as "great to be in New York". The learning style is very different and King's Fork was far more devoted to high standards of learning and overall skill mastery. Whereas my school in New york is far more focused on meaningless group activities and possesses inadequate materials and a very unstructured curriculum. Classwork is no longer a challenging aspect of my student life and the lack of extra curricular activities is a big disappointment. I'm definitely considering going back to this school

As a teacher at KFHS, there are good points and bad points. There a lot of good teachers, and a lot of great kids. SPS in general is too concerned with petty issues, like lesson plan format, and not concerned enough with what matters, education. They will try to push teachers who are different and innovative out, because they don't always want to fit into the mold they've created. And they don't like people from out of Suffolk. If you as a parent are going to be involved in your child's education, it's a great place. If not, it may depend on the luck of the draw.
