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 Kelly so far has been amazing. I have met amazing people at Kelly who have guided me all four years in high school. I joined the music classes as well as the marching band program and it is an amazing experience. We sometimes end up on TV when we do parades it just needs to depend on the holiday. There is a program I joined called college possible and they help you when picking colleges and with FASFA. I would highly recommend joining it.
