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.

Kellam is overall a very well ran school. All of the staff are great and really care about the students and the students future after high school. Kellam does lack diversity, though.

I don't think that my school's too bad, thought there are some things that worry me. For starters, kids like to vape in the bathrooms, but while some effort is made, it's only been closing down the bathrooms, which essentially punishes the students that haven't even done anything, such as myself. However, aside from that problem, I've had great teachers, a great education, and overall a fairly good high school experience.

My overall experience with Floyd E. Kellam High School is a good one. I can be within reach of many great resources for school. The staff is very nice, and most students are great. I've never had any bad experiences there and would recommend that parents send their kids there if within the district.

The number of students earning honor roll status (3.0 GPA or...

This school is absolutely terrible when it comes to needs of students with disabilities. The assistant principal had zero care for the disabilities my son had and was condescending during 504 meetings. The math teacher Lives in the 1980’s and if every child doesn’t fit into her box she will fail you...

We moved from the Great Neck side to Red Mill area to attend PAMS and Kellam High School. Both my children have had great experiences at Kellam and it was the best move we made. Our counselor at Kellam is super helpful and responsive. The athletic department is also top notch and we are so happy bot...
