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.

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.

The school overall is pretty good, however, a lot of the students are pretty unwelcoming and kind of mean. Of course, there are some good kids too. One thing that really makes me dislike this school is the huge drug problem. I am aware that pretty much all schools have drug problems, but Kickapoo’s...
