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 think Umoja is a really good school. The staff are very supportive. The school is very small, so there aren't many activities for students to participate in, but I can definitely see this improving in the future.

Kit Carson is a very close-knit community, all the facility members will welcome you.There is also a wide diversity of students .I highly recommend attending this school I have had a great deal of adventures. That said Kit Carson is very academically focused, we also do not have a ordinary high school experience.

My daughter is a straight A's student however, since she went here last year her grades went downhill. Most of the kids use profanity and there's always a fight going on.

Although I like the new things I see the principal trying to do. There are still obstacles in his path way. One of them is DC. The students shouldn't want to go there to hangout, play, get on their phone...etc. How do I know this? Look at my son's Facebook page and the students at KCMS post pictures...
