Keller High School

I had participated in a fund raising project for the band. I was impressed with the organization of the project. The parental participation was excellent. There were several events going on the night of the function and eveyrthing appeared to running smoothly with so many people going to different places within the school. I liked the school's clean appearance and openess.

My son and daughter attended KHS and are very successful in college now and both on the deans list. So I think that speaks very well of their time at Keller HS. They both enjoyed their High School experience and learned at the same time.

As a Keller Alum, I have to say that it was the finest school I attended. The block scheduling worked fantastic for college prep (test scores were never an issue for us when it came to that curriculum), and the teachers were amazingly well-informed and fantastic at getting the students involved in the learning process. I moved to Keller from another 5A Texas school halfway through my secondary schooling, and it blew that school out of the water.

I find the school curriculum lacking as well, I do not however blame the teachers as we have many highly qualified and excellent teachers in the district. You will learn what you are taught. I instead find fault in what is being taught and within administratorial action. We have a booming Fine Arts section that I admit is better than many schools.

The faculty, staff, students, parents, and community are excellent! As with any school, there are issues that must be dealt with, but my experience at Keller has been very positive.

While it is natural for everyone directly connected with a school to laud and promote it, I feel that Keller High is as perfectly acceptable a school as in the surrounding areas. At the same time, I should mention that Keller High is trying to settle down and get a few of their kinks worked out. There are space issues, but those are widespread and the district does work toward resolution...it is impossible, however to meet the demands dozens of schools simultaneously. If you're looking for a school with rigorous course options and a variety of extra-curricular activities, this is it.

Keller lacks highly successful curriculum and programs of neighboring districts like Southlake Carroll. For instance, due to overcrowding, my high school age son must attend classes that are 2 hours in duration. So he finishes an entire year's worth of teaching in half a year. However much of what he learns will be lost when the SAT's / ACT's and AP testing is done in the Spring. There is no requirement for Physical Education after taking one semester in HS. Finally, my son had to share books, and a locker, upon entering 9th grade!

Keller High school is amazing! This is my first year their and I love it! Coming from a school with 350 students total to one with 3,000 didn't even seem like a big change because of the family feel. This school has great classes they offer and wonderful programs. All the teachers and very dedicated. I love the shedule because we get out at 2:30 and I still have time to do other things. They have proposed a new shedule which gets out at 3:30. I was terribly upset about this but either way I still love KHS!

I'm no parent. I'm a student, and I'm not sure if you want to hear my opinion. The school itself is small, they're too concerned with renovating and expanding, they have too little space in the district as a whole and thus over-crowding in all the schools from Fossil to Central. The teachers are mostly excellent however...at least, the ones that I've had. Some will help you along, some will just be apathetic. Depends on who you get. The extra-curricular activities are decent. They have plenty of options, just too many 'dumb' ones however. Like a 'Bored Games' club. Ohhh....exciting! Overall, the school could be worse, but at the same time, could be better.
