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 think the best part about of Kenai is their school spirit. Everyone that goes to kenai is one hundred percent a Kenai Kardinal. Even people that have graduate come out and support at events. And I think that the academics could be better but I love my school regardless.

Overall, I have had a good experience at this school. Most of the staff is very attentive, while I have had some issues with teachers in the past, they no longer work at this school. The administration for the most part is also great at this school. One thing that I would like to see change is the new hall pass system, while its understandable for some student, why put everyone through it?

The teachers at Kenai Central High School are great for the most part. The resources are horrible and funding keeps falling year after year. The admins are there for their kids and do not do much for the school.
