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.

It's not the best school but it's alright. There are really good teachers but a couple bad ones. Schedules for clubs and PASS get changed often and sometimes get confusing. The school tries its best to get school spirit up which I think is really fun. There are problems like drugs and fights but staff tries their best to control it. Overall, it's a pretty normal and ok school.

As of 2024, I believe that King George High School has been a reliable stepping stone towards my introduction to college. All of the teachers have been able to demonstrate how to problem solve and show unique ways to getting work complete.

Overall, I've had a very good experience with King George High School. I don't participate in any extracurriculars, but from everything I've seen I'd say that we have a very good drama club, band, and football team. At our homecoming pep rally, band never ceased to amaze us all. I've also had a good experience with teachers overall. All of the math teachers I've had have been fantastic at making everything make sense and answering all of my questions. We have a good variety of Dual Enrollment and AP classes available to us and I have felt that my teachers have all been very well qualified. The main negative aspect of my school would have to be the lunches. Sometimes they give us a good amount of food, but often time it does not seem like nearly enough calories for a student to be fueled by. The fruit options are never very good in my opinion either. Another downfall would have to be the safety as well. Anytime we have received a threat it seemed to not be taken very seriously.

I have a son who has attended KGHS for 3 years and has done exceptionally well. The teachers are incredibly responsive to parents as in responding to emails or voicemails the same day! The curricula is varied and there are lots of AP and duel enrollment options. There are also some free after school...

Excellent School. My child has been able to double up on math and take AP courses to prepare for University.

This is our second year in the King George public school system and my son's first year of high school, now about 2/3 completed. I find the school teachers and administration extremely responsive and courteous, in fact surprisingly so. If I leave a message I get a call back within minutes, not hours...
