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've been at Kealing for a little more than one semester, and it feels great to start 2020 with a good head start. I love how they are so flexible with the level in academics all of us are.

I am an 8th grader at Kealing right now, and it's kind of hard for me to write this review because when I first got here, it was the peak of Covid-19, so it was obviously horrible. Now, since the pandemic is pretty much completely over, it is much better than it was and it seems to be making upward...
