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.

It was ok. It is all what you make of it. The sports are lots of fun to play and watch. The academics aren't bad.

The teachers always have your best interest in mind and look out for you. There is a nice array of classes within the curriculum to take which help when deciding what career you want to pursue.

I feel that Killingly unjustly gets a bad reputation. The school has its problems but I do not think that these are unique to the school and are rather widespread issues. Killingly gave me many opportunities to succeed and attend a prestigious college with a 6% acceptance rate. In my experience, no matter where you go, high school is what you make of it and they gave me many opportunities to make the most out of my high school experience.

Overall a terrible public school the only part that is redeemable is the agricultural program. The rest of the school is a waste of money and time. Also rejected a federal grant for mental health for students TWICE ( majority of students wanted it and they still rejected it).
