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.

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.

Pleasant experience, overall. I would like to see options offered other than assuming very student is on track for a 4 year college education. We need trade school options.

I would say that graduating from King George High made me happy but also sad. Even though these were not the best days, there were some good days, and I made some of the best friends I had ever made at that school, which helped me grow. One thing I would like to see change, though, is the diversity. Not many minorities attend our school, and I'm hoping one day that will change.

King George is kinda your average high school, worst parts are the administration, they change schedules every year and the school board is kinda just a they say I say battle. School is alright though sadly there is a lot of drug usage :(

This is our second year in the King George public school system and my son's first year of high school, now about 2/3 completed. I find the school teachers and administration extremely responsive and courteous, in fact surprisingly so. If I leave a message I get a call back within minutes, not hours...
