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 think the school is quite underdeveloped I feel most the of teachers work with what they have and often times going above and beyond with some exceptions but the administration often get in the way of actually good ideas

King high school is an amazing school. Everyone is very friendly and nice. There is no bullying that I have noticed the only thing that I would say is that there are many students who do drugs and only want sex and I understand that every school has that but the numbers of those students are very high but other than that everything is amazing I made many friends and have broken out if my shell more than I could ever imagine and it is an experience that I wish everyone could experience.

King High School has its problems like any other school but it was generally a nice place to get an education with nice people and faculty. I was a student-athlete so I did to multitask between sports ad school work and everyone there worked with me.
