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.

My experience at KV has overall been fine, however at the school it isn't hard to find racists, sexists, and anti-transexuals. However, the college readiness is completely messed up. There aren't enough opportunities for students, and the teachers are to tired and overworked to be able to work with the students.

No matter what you hear from others, I love this school. The teachers care about the students education and they are so engaging! The bullying has gotten down, and we were rated a 4 star school by the state, the best there is! There is an anonymous tip line for reporting bad behavior, but the other...

A school with an "anti" bullying campaign doesn't take a hard look at the staff members and see who the bully really is. After having many issues with a particular teacher, I was sent to the main principal, after 3 weeks of waiting. The principal over looked all the other students complaints and min...
