This School is 'OK'. Teachers are pretty good, my favorite, Ms. LaHaie. She was great. Principal Kempain is awesome, as well as her vice-principals, especially Mrs. Madore.

The school has gone down hill for years. The staff is pretty much the same it has for years. The students that are in the 8th grade I have to say are the most well behaved bunch of students I have seen in a long time. The only thing holding this school together is the sports. Without it no parent would bring their child here.The acadamics are on the low side and have room to improve greatly in the years to come. The parents the ones i have wittnessed realy dont care for there childs future. All they think that this school is a Daycare center which they pay for out of there taxes.

The administration of this school is all about the system instead of the students. If your child is bright, charming and receptive to learning, you have no need to worry. If your child is unsure, special needs or bored then heaven help you both in this system. Parent involvment is low because it is only encouraged in the 'tell us what a great school we have' category.

I am a former student of kis only 2 years ago. I spent all 4 years there and it is a great school. Its teachers are great at what they do and they prepare you for high school really well if your willing to do what they ask.

This is not a school, or district for that matter to choose if your child has any special needs, educational or medical. Although the school claims zero tolerance this just is not the case.

Although I agree this school needs more extra-curricular activities, the children that attend this school are wonderful as well as the teachers. There is very little bullying and it is shocking how everybody gets along so well. This school also has the best quality of education in this area.

There is absolutely no money for extracurricular activities. There are no programs for our children through the school. There are no field trips, no after school sports, etc. Instead, we are having to not only pay taxes to get nothing in return, our children are not benefiting from them. We are struggling to keep them busy after school because we are having to pay an arm and a leg to pay through the town for sports. Our children are having to sit in a classroom all day the whole school year with no field trips. How exciting is that? What good is higher taxes when our children are not benefiting from them. They are not even getting a better education!
