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.

Overall, my experience at Kingwood High School was truly one of a kind to my graduating class. Starting high school with A/B days and during the global pandemic COVID-19, it was a rocky start for all of us, but the teachers and the students worked through the issues making sure to keep everyone safe and ready to learn at all time. Then when Senior year hit, we had a shooting scare and we went into full lockdown. That was the best way they took care of it. Everyone was safe and was secure in their hiding spots, it wasn't a real shooter, but you have to take threats seriously and that's what KHS did. Full of diversity and many clubs for anyone to join, I'm proud to be a Class of 2024 mustang alumni.

From outside it is a great school, but the flaws in hiring teachers that are fit to teach, from the demographics of students who actually care for the school. It feels like the school is outdated and needs a new everything.

The best part of Kingwood High School is the academics. The education you can get here is second to none and it all stems from the amazing teachers. With the exception of a few, most of them are amazing and always willing to go out of their way to help you. My only complaint would be our sense of school spirit is not the best. We need to do a better job of rallying our student body around one cause whether that be in sports or any other school events

Honestly I have read what some of the comments have said about the school saying that there are issues with drugs, racism, and bullying and it's pretty clears that in almost every big high school there are issues like that. Majority of big schools are going to have some form of bullying, racism, and...
