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 would like to see less hostility within the student body. There are fights almost everyday and the high school staff is always having to turn their attention to the students who are being disruptive. Teachers would stay longer and have a better classroom experience if they didn't have to put up with kids acting like that.

When I first came to Kennedale I felt as if I had a team behind me supporting me for the most part from counselors to teachers. They always wanted to help and it seemed like for the most part truly wanted me to succeed. Now as a junior I feel like we're neglected and we're the people with the big questions about the real world. Most days counselors won't even take the time to see us after asking us to send multiple request. Another positive is recently we've been going on field trips to see colleges which i've enjoyed.

Kennedale Highschool has been a very fun and enlightening school to attend for my four years as a highschool student. They have a bunch of fun sports and amazing faculty that all work together in creating a fun and interactive learning environment. I have made amazing friends in all of he great programs that Kennedale provides for students while also providing a safe environment where kids feel safe and respected to provide their own opinions.

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

Some teachers have participated in inappropriate relationships with students. Check the news and police reports. Teachers and counselors are very lazy. All teachers allow students to make up bad grades. Therefore, students become lazy like the teachers. It was a very bad choice for our family.

This is my second child to attend this school. The first transferred to a different school district due to her inability to assimilate into the learning environment. At that time, the teachers did not seem to care and had the 'it's a job' attitude. Athletics is highly funded and is a huge priority;...

As a student who attends kennedale high I can say there is some good. The athletic program is phenomenal, some of the teaching staff actually care about the students and care about our education ( as of now 8/1/15 more than half of them are gone) but there's so many things at kennedale that are awfu...
