I'm probably the only Kelso student from the 1960s who still lives where I lived then... around the corner from the school. I've helped neighborhood kids with their homework & have attended some functions in which they've been involved.
I can say this. Although the neighborhood has changed (many would say for the worse; I would say for the better because it is friendlier than in the 1960s), the school seems to have much improved over when I was a student there. When I was a kid, the school stank (literally), I have bad memories of the cafeteria & the restrooms. The upkeep seems better now. The curriculum seems more difficult.
Pros: Town has changed; Kelso has improved
Cons: A bit more crowded
