I have loved attending my 4 years here at Kellis! The community is so positive and the teachers/administrators will go above and beyond to help their students.

Here I find it a bit hard to find a community of others who are just as passionate about learning as I am. I want to see Kellis become a school in which people want to go to, not one they're excited to leave.

Raymond S Kellis High School has a great inclusive campus. They have an able program for those with special needs. You can even have classes with the able students to work with them. I played two sports there tennis and swim and they were great programs and i had a really good time while being captain my senior year for both sports.

This school promotes bullying from students and teachers. They are amazingly horrible and preparing kids for the future. They live in a bubble of fantasy.
