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.

My overall experience with Kearns highschool is fantastic. I really love the diverse student body and the administration is incredible. They really take pride in being a Kearns cougar and really care about the students at Kearns. The best parts are definitely sports and dances people in this community show a ton of school spirit its awesome. The worst parts are the student attendance rates. I will say we are a 5a school but feel smaller because nobody comes to school or they are here and skip class. Its a problem for sure. I would really like to see the attendance change because we have so many incredible teachers at this school who are really good at what they do and if kids showed up to class I'm sure they would love it.

Kearns is a very diverse school where I am the minority. There are many challenges to fit in and find sports programs besides Football and Basketball. The faculty never stays the same. There is a lot of turnover. The principal try's hard to unite us but it doesn't work. We are considered a low income school.

I was not impressed with the school as I feel that not too many teachers cared, and the administration was the worst. The school is diverse with many different ethnicities and culture. Administration needs to change so that teacher staff and parent involvement can change.

Kearns High is a very welcoming school. The teachers are very kind and it's hard to dislike them. Many of the teachers actually went to Kearns High then came back to teach there! We have several clubs that are inclusive to everyone, several sports to enjoy, and we're one of the only high schools in...

I went to this school for my Sophomore and Junior year. I left for my Senior year only because my parents moved. So I am somewhat impartial, having the experience of high school from two different high schools. Kearns High School is a terrible school. Most of the problems come from the low income to...
