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.

My experience so far has been great! The building itself is clean and newly done. The staff is amazing and the students are connected across all grade levels. A change I'd like to see is more school spirit events or assemblies to get others excited to be at school.

Kennebunk is a great school district. We rank #2 in the state, however the administration is not supporting our teachers. This past year we lost over 40 teachers to lack of support, working with out contract etc

Kennebunk High School is a hot mess at the moment. Administration is tone deaf and in constant struggle with an underpaid teaching department where instead of preparation for next level college or trades they continue to fight about concerns regarding lack of diversity. The School Board is also ineffectual and despite public outcry continue to support an out of touch administration.
