District Highlight
KHS was named to Newsweek’s Best High Schools in the nation. KHS is one of only five Nebraska schools to receive the honor. This year the ranking highlights the best 2,000 public high schools in the nation—those that have proven to be the most effective in turning out college-ready graduates. The list is based on six components: graduation rate (25 percent), college acceptance rate (25 percent), AP/IB/AICE tests taken per student (25 percent), average SAT/ACT scores (10 percent), average AP/IB/AICE scores (10 percent), and percent of students enrolled in at least one AP/IB/AICE course (5 percent).
