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.

Cross Keys High School, located in the heart of Brookhaven, is a terrible school. The administrators are rude, unhelpful and are genuinely overwhelmed with the students. The students are terrible, with no willingness to learn and no effort put into academics. The facilities are in horrible condition with the bathrooms receiving the worst of it, with broken toilets and flooded bathrooms being on the norm.

My experience at Cross Keys High-school was pretty average with a few things here and there really sparking inspiration and determination from me. It was mostly average due to the lack of diversity when it comes to the African American students as most of the population in this school are of Hispanic descent thus making me feel isolated in some aspects. My experience wasn't bad but could've been better. My senior year was better than my freshman year as I felt more involved and noticed rather than isolated and ignored. The teachers are fine but it's the diversity that's the problem.

This school isn't very well kept and there's some what fights going on weekly. It's not very diverse here with most of the student population being Hispanic/ Latin.

The student to teachers ratio is great at the school. I seems like the teachers are very helpful to the students, but the management don't have any clue. I read the previous comment parent involvement is low. You know why because the management is so lazy specially the registration office Ms. McCarl...
