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.

Of the education that I have received, I find it very valuable. However, Kuna High School and its district has much room for improvement. Academics do become better at the high school level but I feel that the base level given at the elementary and middle school levels is very lackluster. Additionally many teachers lack care for what they do which results in kids not learning as much as they should and other teachers having to compensate for it.

I enjoyed my time at Kuna High School, it has a good mix of fun and serious teachers. They take safety very seriously and want to keep students safe. The school's culture is pretty okay, it is a very cliquish school. There are a lot of great resources for mental health, academic advising, career advising, and college advising.

The communication w/ teachers & admin is absolutely ridiculous. I have emailed the principal over & over again re: issues & NEVER received an email in return. I have made appointments w/ the principal & sat there for over an hour waiting & she never showed up. The teachers do not update the PASS/Fam...
