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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

I started at Keene High School right as a new principle started and it was definitely an... experience, there was a lot of drama and fights some between teachers and students in the beginning, but after my junior year a lot started to change, the administrators locked down on students not following the guidelines, skipping class, not participating, became more of a system rather than a high school, I stayed out of trouble but it was a mess at that school.

My experience at Keene High School was challenging. While I'm proud of what I accomplished, I often felt the school prioritized sports at the expense of other programs. The arts, in particular, were underfunded and overlooked, making it difficult for students like me to feel fully supported. Still, these challenges taught me to speak up, stay resilient, and shaped the values I'll carry with me into the future.

My overall experience at Keene High School was flooded with anxiety and not bowing what I am supposed to do with my life. I didn't really have anybody advising and looking after me in the right way. The only thing i truly enjoyed was to play my sports, but then again they always get clicky. High school wasn't the best experience for me, but there isn't always going to be just one factor to blame. It was fun and all but also depressing and misleading.
There was a point in time where I would meet with my counselor weekly sophomore year and that was great. Honestly I needed it and she was helpful enough, but then she randomly just stopped answering my emails and I can't set up appointments with her. Since then I've had to email my counselor probabl...
I'm a junior, and I'm taking the HiSET to leave this school early — and honestly, I can't get out fast enough. The teachers here barely teach. Most of the time, we're left to figure things out on our own, and when we ask for help, it's either brushed off or treated like a burden. The administration...
I give a one star only because I had to plus I agree where it states "they give them what is required" ( only.).....BUT NOT WHAT THEY NEED. Special ed students in this school are dismissed emotionally, it's all about the "jocs"......if you have no choice and your child falls into ESE catagory, And y...
The teachers are dedicated and know their subjects. Parents turn out for theatre and music. Yet the staff are undermined by policies (homework does not count toward grade), "study" hall is noisy cafeteria, and a teacher who was punched 2022 needed surgery.
