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.

This is a great school. I have attended all four years of high school here and I will be graduating soon. We have no uniforms.

I had an overall positive experience at Kathlyn Joy Gilliam Collegiate Academy. The best part of my experience was the supportive and dedicated teachers who were always available to help. The worst part was the lack of extracurricular activities and sports programs. I would like to see more opportunities for students to participate in a variety of extracurricular activities and sports. This would help to create a more well-rounded experience for students at the school.

I love the environment that my school has to offer with all of the students being diverse and collaborative. This school offered me an opportunity into receiving my associates degree in science for free and also my high school diploma. I have the advantage of graduating with two certificates under my name.
