Kaneland High School, or KHS, is a public four-year high school located in Maple Park, Illinois, in the United States. It is part of Kaneland Community Unit School District 302.
History[]
Kaneland first opened in 1958.
In Molitor v. Kaneland Community Unit District 302, Illinois opened up school districts to civil lawsuits. The case was over a bus crash during the early years of the school. The father of a student injured in the crash sued for $56,000. The court stated that public school districts should not be immune from civil tort action.[2]
Academics[]
Kaneland's graduating class of 2014 had an average composite ACT score of 22.2, the highest in the school's history, and graduated 100.0% of its senior class. Kaneland has made Adequate Yearly Progress on the Prairie State Achievement Examination (PSAE), a state test part of the No Child Left Behind Act.[3] In 2013, the school was placed on the Illinois Honor Roll for significantly improving its performance on the PSAE.[4]
