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 overall experience with graham Kapowsin has indeed been good, there's always the good and bad, thinking back to my freshman year I was so excited to go and make friends but after my first day of school I realized how disappointing high school really was I didn't make any new friends that day and the next day I didn't want to go but since then my experience has improved I've joined clubs put school first and made loads of friends in the process. my sophomore year I really wanted to branch out so I joined many new things and started to work even harder to get the things I wanted such as, now I am the stage manager at drama club, I'm in chamber orchestra, in National Honors Society that was a big one, Link Crew and many more things I'm now taking AP cause my counselor and teachers convinced me I'd be really good at it and now I'm in love with all my classes, I will admit I had a rough start to my high school career,but I had many teachers and peers supporting me. I truly love it at GK.

My four years at Graham-Kapowsin High School could be called interesting. It had its good times and t had its bad times. But one of my favorite parts was getting to know many different types of people and making great friends. And making memories with them that I will never forget. I will miss some of my teachers. Other not as much to be honest. But I will still miss them too. They all taught me vital life skills. Wether it was about the class subject or just some good advice that I will not forget either.

The best parts of Graham Kapowsin High School is is the advanced courses. They offer classes to be able to take for example advanced math and that is certainly good.

As a parent, I made my child do online school, but felt like he needed more social interaction. After months of being begged, I let him go to GK for high school. After the first week, my child came back from school, and he immediately started learning this new words or also known as "slang." I don't...
