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.

The best experiences are football games. One of the worst experiences have to be school fights, lockdowns and the SATs. Overall, Killingly High School is enjoyable with friends

Killingly High School is a magical place. This school offers various different sports (all except swim). Killingly also offers a tremendous music, theatre, and robotics program.

I have been here since September, and I love it. the school was easy to transition into from middle school, and it creates little to no stress for 9th graders. the teachers are nice, the students come from all backgrounds, and they don't treat each other poorly.

Overall a terrible public school the only part that is redeemable is the agricultural program. The rest of the school is a waste of money and time. Also rejected a federal grant for mental health for students TWICE ( majority of students wanted it and they still rejected it).
