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'm very grateful to be in Kearny High School with making new friends and with great teachers that have a passion for teaching and care for the students. There are challenges of course having to get in work on time and test/quizzes but th school is very forgiving with personal issues.

I am an honors student and I play ice hockey. I really like my teachers and the effort they put into helping me. They make themselves available before school starts and many times after school ends.
