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.

There has been many ups and downs but overall, it's pretty decent. I don't get bullied so that's great and I enjoyed most of my classes not for the class itself but for the people that were in the class.

Overall, KWHS is a friendly and open school for everyone. It has many resources for people wanting to go to college or seek other careers.

There were very few teachers at Key West High School that actually cared about their students. Those few were Mr. Westbrooks, Mrs. Fink, Mr. Fink, and Mrs. Kiefer.

Most of the higher up at this school, including the principal, made getting my high school education much harder and miserable of a task then it needed to be.

Most of the staff seems to dislike their jobs and are just putting in their time to reach retirement. As a Real Estate professional in the county I constantly hear from client...
