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.

We are a very new school, so everything is updated and nice. So that's why I feel safe. However about once a month we have a fire alarm go off because people vape in the bathroom. The sports are always pretty good besides or women's soccer team.

My overall experience at Kennewick High School was a satisfactory one. The staff always try their best to be there for the students. Most of the teachers I had were very nice and treated all the students fairly. I particularly like the French teacher at KHS. She was the one who sparked an interest in the French language for me. The counselors at KHS helped me out as much as they could as well. I didn't have any real issues apart from my dislike of the school food.

The Kennewick high school building was built just a couple years ago, so the campus is really nice. There are many places to sit and do homework or just hang out with friends. All the teachers Ive had were really nice and understanding, and they would make sure everyone understood the material before moving on. Overall, Ive enjoyed my experience at this school.
