They get mad at you for everything no matter how good of student you are. The teachers here are genuinely horrible and they don't allow anything fun or cool! This place is one of my thirteen reasons. read more

This school is clean. Huge parking lot. Friendly staff whenever we go here. Always TPD and ambulance there at every football game.

We came to see Willy Wonka and the kids did an excellent job! What a great show for $10!! We'll definitely be back for more shows read more

Kimball High School - Excellent show! The kids did great! - Middle Schools & High Schools Near Me - Tracy, California

Built only 3 years ago, this school is wide open and easy to walk around in. The front entrance keeps changing, this is due to Tracy expanding in all directions and the intersections are growing. The staff are amazing, great to work with, and the students are respectful and overall behaved. 2012 marks the school's first graduating class, I hope they can start some great traditions that will last. read more

Good High School and good support for their sports teams and theater. Diverse student body.

This is a terrible high school, most of the teachers are bad except for two teachers, one teaches honors English and one Math( he is a star trek fan). I am sending my son to West High instead of Kimball because of two reasons, the guidance counselor(female) and Calculus AP teacher. read more

I am reviewing a specific staff member in the front office and not the school as a whole. Whenever I go into the office to take care of business with the school, there is one woman (To be nameless here but is included in my Check-In) who is rude and appears frustrated that I am interrupting her day. This woman needs to realize that she is there to assist us parents with whatever we request, we pay her salary with our tax money, it is not her right to be employed at KHS, she should see that it is a privilege! The student staff assisting are more courteous and well mannered than she is, I truly hope our kids are not learning from her lead. Kids, do exactly the opposite from what she does on a daily basis! That would be Smile, Work and greet the visitors within the first 15 seconds of them walking in through the front door. My how service these days is lacking! SCHOOL - 5 STARS for being great COUNSELORS (Not Assistants) - 5 STARS for being available and courteous at all times! PRINCIPAL - 3 STARS for not noticing the lack of service in your organization read more

I would not recommend this institution to anyone, no matter the circumstance. If I could give zero stars, I would. The warden is a rude, selfish, insufferable woman who only considers making improvements to policy and overall service if she feels it will improve her reputation. Some instructors are fantastic, however the vast majority of staff members are apathetic and some of the absolute rudest people you will ever meet (I'm talking about you, heavy-set receptionists). The food is horrible, the traffic despicable, and the security is far too Orwellian for my taste. I can't even take a crap without being escorted and having my ID taken. The overall quality of education is abysmal at best; if you want your diploma handed to you after smoking crystal meth on a daily basis, this is the place for you. If you want a higher quality education, I would suggest going to a rave or federal prison. read more

There is tons of empty rooms with no classes .they don't provide my requirements that I need.they deserved all the threats they had in the past and I hope it continues. read more

I have been going here for 4 years and I have noticed a few things. This school is very unorganized and some of the office staff is rude. Being a senior here is incredibly expensive. They really suck you dry, prom is $130, grad night $160, yearbook $80, and the worst one of all is the cap and gown which is $80 for something I will use once in my entire life. Over the years there have been bomb and shooting threats that have been handled very poorly. For bomb threats they literally huddle the entire school together in the stadium and don't let you leave. How is that a good idea!? Not to mention the principal keeps getting awards for doing literally nothing. The only reason this school is not getting 1 star is because there are some good teachers who don't hate kids and I can appreciate the lunch staff trying to add variety. read more

Amazing haunted house! Really scary for those who like it! Also a great version for little kids too! read more

Kimball High School - Today! 10-6 - Middle Schools & High Schools Near Me - Tracy, California

The Haunted House is great!! Far better than the haunted house at the Pumpkin Patch. You can hear people screaming from outside, totally worth my money. They're also selling food and snacks. The best part is, if you're too scared to go to the haunted house, they do a Kiddie Tour! All the lights are on, the actors are dancing, having fun and tye give you candy at the end! Sadly Sunday is the last day, open from 10AM-6pm. Best thing ever. People have gone over 3 times and they get scared every single time so it's for sure good read more

Welcome to John C. Kimball high school, the place where I spent the worst four years in my life. With the recent events of the passing a certain student, it angers me that the staff still will not take responsibility for the well-being and mental health of their student body. It is obvious that this school will continue to put aside the act of SUICIDE as nothing but taboo. I was a student at this high school and the administration does not care about its students at all. My first year here, a student with my number texted me a picture of a test I was supposed to be taking the next period. I was at lunch while the sender was in class. I do not have control over who, what, or when someone sends me text messages. Regardless of whether I had read the message or not, the student was caught during their test and claimed I was helping him. By the time my lunch period was over, and I headed over to that class, I was punished for his actions and was not allowed to take the test. Despite being a straight A student, always worked hard, was nice to other students, the administration did not care for what I had to say or even had open ears to hearing my side of the story. In my sophomore year, I had decided to take on AP classes but realized the amount of work was not for me. Especially due to my other at home situations, it became a huge struggle to keep up. I've tried talking to the councilor multiple times in addition with my parents to perhaps change one or two classes. However, they refused and said NO because of an AP contract. THIS AP CONTRACT IS ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT. WHY? Because MULTIPLE OTHER STUDENTS WITH THE SAME EXACT CONTRACT SIGNED WAS ABLE TO DROP THE SAME CLASSES I HAD WANTED TO AS WELL. THEY DID THIS WITH NO PROBLEMS. Instead I had to endure the entire school year, unable to keep up with the work. I was stressed to the point of PHYSICAL HARM AND DISINTEGRATING MENTAL HEALTH. I was stressed enough where I felt like I had no time to eat. School, the place where I had used to escape from the realities of my harsh family background became a breeding ground of depression. I began to skip class and when I was in class, I would put my head down and sob. Who would help? Nobody. No teacher cared, or even showed concern. I was to the point where I would be so stressed, I felt the need to self harm at school. Despite my arm being visibly bleeding, hurt, torn- I did not receive any help. I could not turn to friends or family for help, so I went to the doctors. Instead I was given attitude and a question, "what is even wrong with you?" I was dismissed without any help. The school, the staff members, the students, and even health care professionals refused to help me. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOTICE YOUR STUDENTS. I attempted suicide near the end of that school year and told one student after the fact. Yet, despite my last cry for help I was still not given the help I needed. I decided to take my own life after a stressful night. I didn't bother turning the lights on, but I grabbed a random bottle of pills and just took a handful of doses. I didn't care anymore and I was blinded with tears and sadness. By some chance, the pills I took were melatonin, a natural aid to sleep. Because I am still alive does not make the idea of my suicide attempt any better. The fact that I had the intent to end my life while everyone turned a blind eye to it is disturbing enough. In my junior year, my relationship with my parents got worse. I remember one day, I had ran away from home because of a heated argument and my parents refused to give me a ride to school. I went to school on my own and was distressed. I was hurting myself and crying outside of my class where all my other classmates stood while waiting for our teacher. A student took notice. Unfortunately, instead what was done is that they tweeted that they wish they could talk to me, but they do not care. I wish the school would teach its students that your words and voice matters. It has an impact on others and even if it's on social media. Just because it's on Twitter doesn't make you edgy or cool. Your words are directed out there to someone and that person may be reading it. This school will not listen to suggestions by students unless you're a significant person. They care only for their reputation. They do not even allow seniors to be acknowledged on the college map if they're going to community college. COMMUNITY COLLEGE DOES NOT MAKE YOU ANY LESS SIGNIFICANT THAN THE OTHER STUDENTS. What is wrong with continuing and furthering your education after high school? Because it's community college, it doesn't improve the school's ratings? Its reputation? If you do not have the money to go to a UC, your voice is pointless to the school. Due to the school caring solely about their reputation, I decided to come forward with my experience here. I'd LOVE to elaborate further but I don't have room. I PRAY that this is enough to bring awareness. MENTAL HEALTH IS NOT TABOO. read more

Okay I go to kimball. I am graduating this year. My first year of highschool it took them over a month to get me in rolled and started. I'm now a senior and again am having this problem. I was notified today Monday at 6 that I wasn't enrolled. School starts tomorrow. So that being said last year I was attacked at school they sent me home on the bus and didn't alert my parents. I went to the hospital and I did have a concussion. Now the school is unkempt and they don't know what their doing. It's been what 7 years and they still haven't gotten it together. read more
