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.

Starting with the worst part of my experience was the strictness of some teachers which wasn't bad as long as the work was completed. The best part of my experience was doing fencing with my friends and team along with making new friends while at school. Overall the experience was good, but I would like to see more variety for sports and sports recognition from the administration in the future.

Kinnelon High School has greatly helped me in the college process. The school is very good when it comes to academic prowess and being able to help students when it comes to applying for college. It is not an elite sports school, but when it comes to being able to transform students for the better, Kinnelon High School excels in that department.

The ONLY thing that drives decisions by the administration at Kinnelon is how they will fall in the NJ Monthly High School Ranking. The prinicipal and superintendent are puppets to the parents, many of whom treat the teachers like their personal servants or dirt under their fingernails. It is very c...
