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.

My experience at Kellam High School has varied throughout the years I have gone here. Freshmen and Sophomore year were both super fun and I learned a lot. Throughout Junior and Senior year however I felt less happiness when coming to school and as of late I don't want to go at all.

Kellam is a pretty good school. The building is very nice, and they have a lot of academic resources that a lot of other schools don't have. Sometimes it can be hard to find friends, but there are also so many ways to get involved in different clubs or sports. Most of the staff at Kellam are really good, and they always seems to care about the wellbeing of the students.

Kellam is overall a very well ran school. All of the staff are great and really care about the students and the students future after high school. Kellam does lack diversity, though.

I’m astonished that the grade for this school is a 7/10; the reasoning is as follows:The graduation rate at this school is over 99%, even with the Juvenile Detention Center (Juvenile Jail) statistics diminishing the actual number of 99.8%. The number of students earning honor roll status (3.0 GPA or...

This school is absolutely terrible when it comes to needs of students with disabilities. The assistant principal had zero care for the disabilities my son had and was condescending during 504 meetings. The math teacher Lives in the 1980’s and if every child doesn’t fit into her box she will fail you...
