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.

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.

Loy Norrix celebrates mediocrity. Students are seen as a burden for wanting to choose harder classes or have connections with anyone outside of kps.

How do you answer what was your worst job experience? It's important to be honest, but you don't need to go into great detail about your experience. Try to keep it as brief as possible and focus on what you have taken away from the situation. The interviewer is not looking for a long story, they just want to get an understanding of how you handled a bad job experience.

The school has its ups and downs. It offers many programs, clubs, and sports for students to join. However, our sports department has not been doing well for a while now. The teachers are supportive and many advanced academic courses are offered, but there will always be room for improvement.
