This school sucks all of our good teachers are leaving. The two deans who are really good left and one of the best assistant principals left too. The principal and the other assistant principal are not that good. They don't know us students and they can't relate to us. It's like all the people that cared about us were forced to leave. I wish my mom would move away from here so i can go to a better school.

I moved to Kankakee to take care of my grandma who was 90 at the time. I graduated in 2013 but let me tell you it was bad: there was roaches in the lockers and hallways (one time in the classroom), fights in the hallways, and some teachers who didn't care about the students at all. It was worse for those who weren't in honor or AP classes but still even with the few good students it was pretty bad. Bad lunch food, had a bad odor everywhere, and they got rid of good teachers just because they were knew. Please consider somewhere else unless this place and surrounding areas finally changed because not even the elementary schools taught these kids anything and I hear kids are favored over others. There are few jobs available and even going to Bradley/Bourbonnais I would not want my kids learning here (not to mention Illinois in general but different subject). Thanks for reading.

I have many relatives that have successfully graduated from this school. The parents or students who don't agree with this school are either non-involved in school activities or they just believe anything there children say. KHS is a marvelous school. If your student cares about his/her education and is involved with the right type of students they will do just fine. However,at ANYschool if you look for trouble, you will find it.
