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 team at Keller have been more than accommodating to our son who is transferring mid-year. The facilities are nice, the student body is diverse, the teachers are professional and the principal seems to provide engaging leadership for students, staff and parents alike.
