GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I enjoyed it. It wasn't always the best, like every school it has its ups and downs. The school was a great experience for me.

It is a small, tight-knit community that supports success. I would like for the school to focus more on academics and less on sports.

Kelly High School is a very good school. I believe that the students that are here have so many opportunities to be able to do what every they want.
