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.

This is my first year as a Kickapoo student, I previously went to a different school, I feel at home already at this school and quickly found friends.

The environment in the school is horrible. None of the students care about their education, the drug problem is out of control, and any issue taken to administration will be waved off without a care. They're so focused on maintaining the school itself that everything else been put to the side.

I graduated from Kickapoo in 1999; after reading these reviews, it sounds like the exact same school after 20 years. That's really sad and disappointing that the staff/administration can't figure out how to improve over that time span.
