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 enjoyed my time at Kalkaska High School. I like that the school is small so it really helps to get one on one time with the teachers. Create very special bonds.

I loved my teachers, and the memories I made. I had the typical problems when starting a new school but nothing that ruined the school.
