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.

It's a great school in a rural town. It is really good in athletics and education. There aren't as many opportunities as bigger schools.

Entering Kingsbury High School Right away you'll be able to notice the diversity and acceptance of other diversities. Also, There's many teachers who demonstrate how much they care for their students which makes school feel like a safe place attend. One thing that I would change is to have more College tours for students to view there options and also to help those who need the help to apply for scholarships.

This school has some good aspects such as being able to provide students with dual enrollment classes and AP Classes but the way I see it, the school is definitely getting worse. There are teachers who truly care about the students but the principal seems to find ways to make their hard work go unno...

The workers in the front office are HORRIBLE. If a parent comes in, they will make you wait while ignoring you until they finish gossiping. Very unprofessional employees with the worst attitudes . They will suspend students for any reason and I 'm actually surprised they are still open. Gang territo...
