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 at Kennesaw Mountain High School was quite an experience. I had my moments where I didn't like the school but towards the end i have grown fond and appreciated the people who have been with me through thick and thin from my little freshman self, to now.

Kennesaw Mountain High School has excellent academics and amazing opportunities for all students. It has a large amount of diversity. It does not have great food, and some teachers are not great. However, most teachers do a very good job.
