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.

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.

I really love my school. I love to see the different variety of cultures in my school. However, I just wish the students had more school spirit.

I think Cross Keys High School is a good school, yet underfunded. The school has enthusiastic students and staff but it lacks student resources, nutritional lunches, and other structural necessities. There are more classes and extracurriculars in other schools that Cross Keys doesn't not have due to not enough funding or material.

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...
