École Kwayhquitlum Middle School - Port Coquitlam, British Columbia

okay, so I figured it's about time I write a review of my own.

honestly... this school kind of sucks. the bathrooms are disgusting (no surprise there), the other students can be pretty discriminatory, and while most of the teachers are amazing, there are some who I still wonder why they havent been fired yet. One of them literally made me cry over cutting into a line... I was in the 7th grade. a line cutter is not the top priority if you're teaching 7th graders. While I am a bit biased over the experiences and friends I made, the school itself could definitely use some work.

Decided to make a new review cause my last one got deleted.

This school is your stereotypical middle school. Mid teachers, mid students, mid activities and events. But when you make friends and participate in class you will have a lot of fun here like I did. The biggest problem here, at least when I was still attending this school, are the wannabe gangsters who are on no heat when I catched them solo. You’ll probably have fun here.

The school is alright, the teachers are nice enough but the bathrooms are nasty!!! For that you are bumped down to 2 stars please clean the bathrooms…

I'm going to list the pros and cons to explain why I put it as a 2 star review, and this is in my opinion, and this is my grade 6-8 experience as a FRIM student
Cons
- Students are imbeciles
- Washrooms are very gross and disgusting
- Staff sometimes will do nothing to help you if you are having trouble with homework, social problems etc.
- Students smell really bad, like wear deodorant
- Some expos aren't really good
- School doesn't make you feel included in some ways
Pros
-Kind staff
- Sometimes could have some memorable times there, if you have friends

In conclusion, it is pretty obvious that there are way more cons than pros, but remember this is in my opinion, and in general if you want to go do french, go to citadel or something, and if you are in english, just go to a different school. Probably going to a different school would be more inclusive.

EDIT: This is after finishing the 6-8 school year at Kway, and give a summary of my personal Kway experience, and the pros and cons again.

Okay, I started off with such a nice teacher in grade 6, she was probably the best or one of the best teachers I had in my education, and it was great, the transition from elementary to middle school was extremely difficult for me, because homework wasn't something I was used to, but I made friends, I think. Moving on to seventh grade, I was invited the play the piano for the Boys Choir, and I wanted to join band in the 7th grade, so I played the alto saxophone, I realize looking back then from now, it really was making my mental health worsen by practically waking up every morning at 6:00, which drove me crazy, and my grades started to spiral down from there. I got worse and worse grades every semester, and then I started to develop social anxiety, and I didn't want to speak up for help the whole school year, since I was extremely paranoid of everybody and everything. 8th grade went differently, probably my best year there. I did band but quit halfway through, and so did with choir because I couldn't do that type of schedule anymore, but my social anxiety and paranoia didn't change, even until now, but it definitely got better. I had a extremely bad habit of not using time well in my class, and yeah.

So if I would rate Kway (by my experience), I would give it a 4.5/10.

And ong, there are sum wanna-be gangsters that are so annoying, won't the school get rid of them

Conclusion:
I gotta say that this school wasn't the best in my opinion, but its about the friends we made along the way.

honestly… not that bad. some of the best years of my life were spent here and i was lucky enough to have amazing teachers. there’s always a guarantee that you will find random food and trash in the washrooms, and for some reason there is now gang activity surrounding the school, but it’s pretty alright

Okay whole new review guys!!!!

So I just finished my last year at Kway and I'm honestly just gonna have to change up my thoughts looking back at the school year. I still think that most of the students are questionable people, but that's about it. Looking back at my years at Kway, I'd say they were good for the most part! Staff is nice, some students are nice, expos are fun! The school can be pretty nasty sometimes though! The bathrooms ? pls get those deep cleaned! ? But anyway! I still think Kway can be a questionable place, but it's still nice!

Honestly was a pretty bad school. The kids where not the best and some of the teachers where somewhat questionable but the good ones made it all worth it in the end

I'm in the MACC program at this school, and I like it. The school wasn't very clean, but other than that, everything was pretty good.
