Ken Caryl Middle School

I can see how the person that made the comments about if your child is not succeeding in this school how it would not do good for them as I can see the teachers, councilors, and principles are always out with the kids walking around making sure that everyone is happy. Its tough to be in two places at once and I agree that they should at least return a phone call because that is irresponsible. However, if your child is in GT it is amazing and mine is. He is happier now then I have ever seen him in school. Their GT program places emphasis on who they are and allows them to be the leaders that they are. Its amazing how much of a change going from a terrible school in TX to an incredibly amazing school with tons of great teachers and students who are not allowed to bully kids who are intellectual. The technology program far exceeds expectations and the kids are way above grade level. There test scores are not what I expect coming from what I see my child learning. He is algebra 1 and in 7th grade and doing an amazing job. The GT teacher is there for him and other students when they need help. I am proud to bring my child here. Thanks to all of you for making him so happy.

Once I pulled my son out of this school, everything turned around. He went from barely passing 8th grade to Honor Role once out of this school. If your child is not having any issues, then you are probably ok, however if he/she is having issues, do not count on the guidance counselors to help out or get your child back on track. Emails, phone messages, voice mails were all ignored and never returned.

This school is the best one i have ever been to. the principal is a lot of fun and Mrs. Coyne is the greatest teacher ever. The only problem is waking up so early to get there. I heard that this school may close next year all suport is apreaciated greatly.

This school is asolutely amazing! My daughter is in love with going there! Although, she does have some problems with waking up so early to walk there. Overall, principal Pat Sandos is great for the kids, and the teachers are always friendly!

I love the improvements they have made on this school over the break! Not only did we get new bathrooms, and terrific lockers, we got an amazing principal! Mr. Sandos is hundreds of times better than the previous principal! He is extremely involved with the students. I feel like I am learning so much in my 8th grade year compared to last year in 7th grade.

i have always had exellent feedback from my childs teachers all you have to do is ask and also my child has had problems in school and the guidance counselors did everything possible to help her the academics could be more of a challenge and with the new phys ed teacher the sports should be now adequate to say the least with all due respect i have had nothing but a positive experience in the 7th grade year at ken caryl and recomend the school
