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.

Killeen High is a great school. I highly recommend the school. Its safe (security measures), diverse, and has the support and resources that all high school needs.

I have had a pretty bad experience with Killeen high school. Drugs are all too common with restrooms in the morning becoming hotboxes for peoples delight. Within the three months I've attended there has been more fights than people I know, not even mention various other problems. mostly with food being under or overcooked, students having behavioral problems, and water fountains in general dispensing water with matching quality of a warzone.

Being a student at killeen high school has been a good experience. The facility works great with each and every student. Their culture, they like to go all out and have enough of extracurricular activities to which each student can have the opportunity to do/join. Killeen HS is a school that you can go to and get enough of knowledge, understand, and be able to meet others. They are very friendly and it is a diverse school as well.

I would not recommend coming or sending your child to this school al...

I have been trying to get a student enrolled for about two weeks.. and counting. The staff does not seem to be in much of any hurry to help the process. We finish a requirement and then there always seems to be more. I’m thankful that this is her last year (if she ever gets enrolled) because I would...
