I am a graduate of Kellam ('07). I was an average student when I was a freshman, but I grew to be an outstanding student because of Kellam's faculty. They do push students to exceed the norm. For the student who get less than average grades it's not because of the school. It more likely falls on the

For instance, the first two years of english are dedicated to learning how to use these resorces. The next two years, which are also the most important years, the teachers will back off to let the students teach themselves how to be independant; in learning as well as in life. As a college student today I can reassure you that college has been less difficult thanks to kellam! Read less

Believe this to be a sub-par high school. Perhaps the reason why it is the only VaBch High School not to make this year's Newsweek's top High School list. You will likely read great comments about this school from parents of students who do well. If you have an average student, this is not the environment

It was always tempting to concentrate on the high achievers and feel good about myself. However, that is not the job of the educator.

My three brothers and I attended Kellam spaced out 15 years. My niece and nephew attended Kellam and the next 5 cousins will attend Kellam. This was no accident. Families are paying top dollar for homes in this district to get tier kids into the surrounding schools. The zip code 23456 was rated the

It took us almost 6 months to buy a home in the district that we could afford. Kellam is one of the oldest schools in the area but has the most history. Its located in the municipal area and the police station is half a mile away so yes it probably is the safest school in Virginia Beach. Go Knights! Read less
