After my daughter has attended for 4 years as she leaves I am left with the perception that generally Kellis doesn't care for its students. She has been fortunate to have studied under 4 - 5 incredible teachers combined, but other than those 4 - 5 the staff and coaches at Kellis are indifferent to the students. Students are treated according to their looks, body style, and participation in football. Female students are held to the dress code more consistently than male students but not consistently amongst female students.
This school is inclusive and I enjoy coming here. I expected high school to be harsh and judge mental, but at Kellis it’s not. You are free to be yourself; the students and teachers all accept that.
I love the teachers. Bathrooms were not good. students were rude. Hallways are small. Choir teacher is the best. I love Mrs. Bell. I also love the culinary teacher Mrs. Hopper.
I like Raymond S. Kelli’s opportunities, our counselors insure that you are aware of the options you could possible purse to be one step closer to your desirable future. There isn’t much I wish would change at Raymond S. Kelli’s, at least not at the moment.
Most of the teachers I had were extremely passionate about their students, always trying to make their class entertaining and motivating us. They actually care about whether we are learning or not and always go over and beyond to help us however they can. My counselor is also a super passionate, sweet person and I can tell how much she wants to help us succeed. The only complaint I have is about the security staff. This one security guard just recently got fired because she would degrade and shame young girls when dress-coding them. She would also stare through the bathroom stall cracks, and invade everyone's privacy. They waited about two years to fire her though, which is unacceptable since her behavior was so innapropriate.
I attended Raymond S. Kellis for all four years. I participated in sports my first year. My academic counselor helped me plan out my high school career to best prepare me for college and my future career.
The Performance Arts program was underfunded; the lockers weren't the best freshmen year, but none the less it was a decent school despite some iffy teachers who have thankfully left or were fired. School lunch was iffy, but they had a great program for business classes.
American Sign Language was a fantastic class, the teacher at the time was awesome. She left as well though. If you love Theater, Production Design, or History, definitely get Ms. Triveline as your teacher! I had her for four years straight for Theater and Production Design.

I was bullied all throughout elementary school and chose to go to RSK - a school that was miles outside of my school district in order to get away from the bullying. I did just that. The school valued inclusion and acceptance. I'm so thankful for my experiences there.
It’s a good school, so many clubs and sports to do/ join, help out and so much more like after school or out of school things, making friends in the same school or in other schools by the clubs, sports and a variety of classes.
I love Raymond S. Kellis. The teachers there really care about their jobs and provide a well-thought-out teaching experience.
Raymond S. Kellis has been a life changing experience. This school holds so much school spirit it almost feels like home. The teachers are helpful and every student is welcoming. I enjoyed my time here because of the amazing people I met and all the important life skills I was taught because of this amazing school.
Raymond S. Kellis High School is a good school but, it is not perfect. Like many schools Kellis has their downfalls. There are certain things they should work on such as, parent involvement and of course a huge issue, dress coding. Overall though Kellis is a great school.
I loved how united it is, especially with the unified kids. Something they can work on is allowing and approving students to have more fun. For example have sponsors come to our school and bring us food or at the football games allow us to go crazy and being things that would get the football team, cheer, and the crowd hyped.
I'm a Senior in High School as of currently. I love the school and the friends and memories I have created since being here Freshmen year. Although, recently there has been protest on our dress code violation. Many girls are being suspended for having an inch of our belly out while the boys are allowed to wear whatever we want. Our principle is trying his best to resolve this issue and even agreed with a student that he would try his best to talk with the District. Besides that, all my years of being there it has been good so far and even though it isn't the best school, I wouldn't trade the moments I've experienced for anything.
My experience at Raymond S. Kellis so far isn't too bad. I think it could have been better if I had more people to go to for help.
I liked that my high school requires all students and staff to wear their identification cards at all times. This requirement makes me feel safe, knowing that everyone that I see is supposed to be there. I would recommend others going into high school to consider going to Raymond S. Kellis, there is a very low bullying rate where everyone can feel accepted and have fun going to school. In addition, there are multiple places to get food and to hang out with friends at lunch, but if you don't want to be around others you could just go to the library, I love going there. It's peaceful and quiet with lots of books and computers to do other school work. But something I would like to change is how the staff operate drop off and pick up for students because sometimes it can get a little disordered at the end of the day. But other than that I truly recommend coming to this high school to make so many memories and new friends that could be with someone for life.
Overall the school is ok. I would love to see more diversity. It would be cook to see different types of clubs. The school spirit isn't all the way there.
