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.

I enjoyed the courses that Kickapoo offered. There were many career-cluster classes that were college-level and helped us to prepare for the future. I did not enjoy that there wasn't a lot of communication about opportunities for seniors. Not many college visits, scholarships, or other things were offered to help us.

Transferred from another high school in the area. Higher parent involvement, class offerings and scheduling a bit different.

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.
