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 went to Waterford Kettering for all four years of High School. Because of where I lived, I was eligible for school of choice, so instead of Waterford Mott, I chose Kettering. I am definitely very glad I did choose Kettering because the music program, which I was very involved in, was very good for the amount of money it was given. Overall I did enjoy school there, it had its ups and downs as any thing does. One of the things I didn't like was some of the teachers were not very good at their job, not it also depends on the person and how they teacher versus how the students learn. I felt generally safe while going there and had a good experience.

Going to Waterford kettering high school has made me a very evolved person. I learned that a school can uphold appearances of being inclusive and diverse, while also not advertising their diversity and limiting how inclusive they can be.

After attending here and graduating, I can say that it was a positive experience. Teachers are well educated and will offer help when you ask for it. As always there are some kids who are trouble, but hey that's high school for you. Very safe and positive environment.
