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.

Communication between office and staff is horrible Communication between office and students is even worse Planning is not a strong suit of Kenowa Hills. They have great AP teachers, but two of them are leaving after this year and I am scared for future AP students The new staff is not great and old staff is not appreciated enough One thing that I hated was that we never had any field trips. the only way to maybe go on a trip was if you took French, Band or Orchestra The office ladies are not very welcoming at Kenowa and are slow to deal with attendance Student Services is mostly great except if you want help with Dual Enrollment from the person in charge of Dual Enrollment, good luck because she will always defer you to your counselor and never respond to your emails asking for her help The clubs that we have at Kenowa are not very structured and meet irregularly, but Student Council is amazing NHS is not worth it. We barely do anything compared to SC but are praised

Most of the teachers are good and seem to really care about student's success. It is really easy to retake tests of you failed/want a better score. I wish they provided more funding to extracirriculars besides sports like the performing arts. I also wish that they didn't put most of their sports funding into football and basketball.

I liked most of the teachers because they actually tried to help you with both school and life problems but most of them didn't really care about their students. I think that the way the school is treating certain topics needs to change and how they help/interact with students should be fixed.

Kenowa hills high school is creepy. I’ve recently heard that the assistant principal was waiting outside the girls bathroom for a student who was skipping. They have closed most of the bathrooms because student have been vaping, they have now made their phone rule more complicated than it needed to...

I wanted to pull my children in 2007, wish I would've then but I foolishly thought they couldn't replace friends after 2nd grade. Fortunately, my youngest is receiving a better education at Jenison.

Kenowa hills high school is an awesome school, because it provide students with what they need from technology, books to read, sciences' lab and so on. It has great teachers to help students understand, not all the teachers, but most of them.
