I love this school because of the teacher's and the caring staff. They are dedicated individuals who care for and teach our children. They try very hard to give back to the community responsible, educated, young adults.

I have found that all the teachers have the desire to help students pass such as ms.slagel and MR.Wright

i have found certain teachers to have outstanding attittudes, such as Shirley Henderson. While others are so stubborn about ideas that they leave no room for improvement in a school that is already below state averages in most areas. The parents in Kingman , overall are not much help either. It is unfortunate, because the ones suffering are our babies.

Special education classes seem fragmented and behind the times in learning methods of individuals.

A principal who is totally inaccessible to parents. Just one under performing school.

Poor school and poor instruction. Weak administrators who absolutely fear the parents and the district office. As an educator what was happening at this school absolutely made me remove my children. One of the worst!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a major lack of diversity in elective choices. There is also a real dress code enforcement. As a parent of 2 children who have gone to this school I am very disappointed in the lack of principal envolvment.

KHS is a great school. The only problem I found was the foreign language program. The music program is one of the best in AZ. My child was in the national honor society and received a scholarship to NAU. Good job Kingman

The academic program is good and they do have great English teachers. They lack in foreign languages though. Electives at the school are few, but the essential classes are great. There are many after school activities to pick from. The parents get some involvement.The business classes are a great pick.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Arizona used the Arizona Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS) to test students in reading and mathematics in grades 3 through 8 and 10, writing in grades 5, 6, 7, and 10, and in science in grades 4, 8 and 10. AIMS is a standards-based test, which means that it measures how well students have mastered Arizona learning standards. Students must pass the grade 10 AIMS in order to graduate. The goal is for all students to meet or exceed state standards on the test.
