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.

Kingston High School is great in the aspect of supporting anyone. My school has allowed me to start my future earlier than expected by letting me start taking AP courses. On top of that they have helped me enroll in Suny Ulster while still being in high school. My worst experience is having really rude and unmotivated teachers. For me it has become a motivation to strive when having a person bring you down.

The music in KHS is phenomenal. There is a lot of IEP support at KHS. I would have liked more support in the guidance counseling area for help preparing for college. As the years have gone on unfortunately, safety needs attention, but I feel this is a national problem, not just a local problem.
