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.

Kerr has excellent teachers and diverse students. There are daily "special classes" including Art, Computers, PE, Music, Spanish, and Library. In 2019-2020 Kerr will have a state-of-the-art new building with a Maker Lab and collaborative spaces. They will also have a Spanish-immersion magnet open to kids throughout the district. The Spanish immersion will be 1 classroom per grade level starting in 1st grade. We are very happy with Kerr.
