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 have enjoyed my time at Kennedale high school. There is a strong culture in the athletic department as well as the academic department. Classes are very competitive and it is easy to stay motivated. My teachers have pushed me to be the best possible student I can be. I am thankful to be at this school and be given the opportunities that u have had.

I came to this school as a junior. I will say it has been quite the experience. I wouldn't say that it's as much the teachers as it is the students. I can understand that it's hard for teachers to teach when the students don't make an effort to learn. But there are some teachers that are very helpful and administration that are also incredibly helpful.

Personal perezoso, consejero perezoso. Si tiene alguna pregunta o problema que necesite discutir con un consejero, le llevará mucho tiempo comunicarse con él.
