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.

The school is super small, so the class sizes are usually around 20 students per class. There's definitely a benefit to this because you're more likely to be able to ask questions when you need to. The area is very conservative, so the school culture is not the greatest. We have fantastic music and arts programs which deserve more funding. Most of the funding that should to go the arts goes to our sports teams, which are average.

overall, kutztown is a very good school. a lot of the teachers are very supportive and welcoming to all students. but there are a couple things that i personally thought that administration didn't handle the way they should of. a lot of allegations and rumors that weren't looked into at all and a lot of students targeted by administrators and given detentions over and over again.

Kutztown is a small school with nice teachers and staff but very little diversity. Our sports teams are average, our football team is known for losing, but our music and theater programs are amazing. The guidance counselors are always helpful and spend much of their time preparing us for our school events and college.

Honestly, I think Kutztown is a relatively below average school. Not only do they say they have a "strong" bullying program (they really don't), but students with disabilities and who don't "fit in" have a hard time making friends and getting along with the "popular" kids. The only good thing about...

I am a current freshman, and I must say, I love this high school. The enrollment is small, but that is to our advantage with academics and activities. The laptops are a useful tool, and the teachers are helpful. We are proud of our music program, the building is run down, but we thrive within. I'm p...

Spanish teacher..... I wont name any names,(sarcasim) but the fact is that we have teachers that are extremely frustrated teaching what they're teaching and taking it out on students. After speaking with one of the teachers it was very clear to me that we have an very immature lady (spanish teacher)...
