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.

5.0 Sophomore
10/6/2024
Kenai Central High School is a pretty small school with only ~450 students. As a sophomore, I've had an amazing experience already. Kenai Central High School has a very strong school community. It has pretty great teachers that have made my high school career--and others--amazing. One thing I am sad to see is the rampant homophobia and racism that can be heard and seen while walking through the hallways. I wish this was addressed more by the administration as this is not at all acceptable.

Very good environment and overall experience. The teachers are very helpful and considerate of students.

Great school with positive teachers and community. Academics however could definitely be harder and college readiness and resources could definitely use improvement. Otherwise KCHS is a great school.
