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.

Keystone Oaks is a good school overall, I have many good friends, I like most of my teachers, and I enjoy the school spirit at events and sport games. There are some downsides, such as what feels like a high number of physical conflicts between students, as well as large scale arguments and general disciplinary incidents. Aside from those issues, however, I generally enjoy going here and feel like I'm getting a good high school experience.

My experience was very good. Some of the teachers were amazing mentors and people who I am so blessed to have known. The academic opportunities were fine. But the teachers would go above and beyond to help us reach any goal we may have set for ourselves.

The biggest part of this school is being disappointed with nearly every part. The school board is wildly incompetent, while the administration has trouble planning bus routes. Although I did survive attending for 4 years I did not enjoy it.

One of our kids attends the high school and we have another in the middle school (same building but separated). The teachers have all been responsive and supportive and both of my children are getting a great education. Would recommend.

I strongly agree with both of the ones star comments go give them a read there's nothing more I can say that they haven't. Besides the lack of discipline, and teachers just not caring enough. It's a bad school in a bad area.
