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.

Kempner has its hints of greatness. For its students, Kempner provides useful resources and help for everyone. Through out my four years I would not trade Kempner spirit and traditions for any other school.

Throughout all my years, Kempner really stood out to me. There wasn't much push for school spirit unless you were an upperclassman. The AP teachers I had were very supportive and encouraging to improve myself academically and personally.

I sent multiple kids to the school through the years, and it was a much better experience...

The staff are rude and disrespectful to the students and all the students have simple solutions but the principal won’t listen to reason because she’s being difficult. Simply to put it a small group of 4 or 5 people making a bad decision to fight shouldn’t result in punishing the other 2,000 student...
