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.

As a student that goes to kappa I would say it is such an amazing school with absolutely amazing resources and opportunities. I have been able to have so many different internships and on top of that it is one of the three Ib schools in the Bronx and it is the only Free one.
