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.

To put it simply this school is okay. It has a decent learning environment but its small size keeps it from becoming a higher level school. Very few clubs and activities are offered and only one foreign language. If a problem occurs with a teacher then there is a possibility that an entire class could be dropped (has happened twice in my four years). The teachers are all generally pretty good with a few exeptions. Altogether its not the best and not the worst school.

A popular class at Kalama High School is Honors English. It provides an opportunity for students to advance in English class, although this class is an option that you have the ability to choose from.

I loved it here! But sadly, I had to move. This school was great and I loved (most of) my teachers! The girl english teacher was rude and upsetting though. After her class, I would always be in a bad mood.
