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.

I would like to see this school have classes of higher difficulty with more AP classes available. Overall, everyone knows everyone there, so there is a really good sense of community.

My experience at karns city high school was awful. I went there for seven years and witnessed teachers who are mean, students who are racist, and a love for bullying. The school board was incompetent and lacked basic human compassion.
