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 had an amazing time academically, there were always higher level classes that I could take and that challenged me. the teachers were amazing and cared about the students. Many teachers actively sought to build personal relationships with their students. The only thing I didn't like about Kickapoo was that the bathrooms were sketchy, I didn't feel safe to take a dump in any of them. lots of kids would just hangout in there and vape. the admin was doing what they could but there was only so much they could do with the funding that they had.

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.

Kickapoo High School has been a dedicated learning opportunity for 2 of my 3 children so far. The teachers are approachable and willing to help. The coaches are invested in my children's success. The administration is knowledgeable and supportive. We chose to move to this district solely for our children to attend this high school. We are confident that we made the right decision.

This school is horrible. There are drugs everywhere and when you report it to the Administrators and School Police you are played out to be a nuisance. This school is more concerned about social justice than learning. The teachers are dismal at best and focus on left learning vs core curriculum. STA...

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.
