School Reviews

Having had multiple children pass through the halls of KRHS I can say that I have been highly disappointed with the level of education received there. I have had children graduate with average grades and still unable to pass the basic math entrance exam into community college. If your child does not naturally excel there is little hope for extra help as many of the teachers only stay after one day a week. Athletics is a definite weak area within the school which goes back many years so there appears to be no hope of anything changing. The guidance department and administration seem to back the staff and don't seem to listen to the parents. The school's ranking within the state is somewhere around the middle of the pack and I'm not surprised.

Amazing school and staff! Excellent programs for college readiness, academics, career interests, and more. The population is small which gives every student the ability to become friends. This brings a positive atmosphere as every student understands each other's accomplishments and moments of stress. Sports as well as clubs are very popular because students realize they need a break from homework and school.
