Along with these other reviews, I too think MKMS is a good environment But some times there is bullying even though the school has a NO BULLYING policy. I highly suggest this school! :)


Posted January 5, 2011

I am in the seventh grade, and i have been in kellogg sence 5th. The staff and teachers are kind and friendly, they are more than willing to help out. The school is clean and enviormently friendly. Students, as far as i know, are well behaved. A safe and "clean"(no swearing, bullying,etc) school. If you are debating on putting your child in kellogg, I strongly suggest you do. The school offers so many extra programs. Between challenging academic programs, strong parent interaction(PAC), chorus, band, sports, and plays. I am looking forward to the rest of the year, and 8th grade.

This year is my child's second year at MKMS and so far the experience has been a positive one. The principal and teaching staff have been very approachable and any questions or concerns I've had have been handled in a very prompt and caring manner.

well, MKMS is one of the best school there is to this whole world. I feel like im right at the school where i haveto because everyone is just so friendly , the teachers and teh students. They have all been very nice. Furthmore, the way they teach is really sophisticated and i think it really works around with kids and teacher because we are all learning every day.

I am a girl who used to go to MKMS. MKMS has children that learn what they should be learning in a higher grade. This school has an art room with a wheel and has saws to make objects out of wood. MKMS has many things that other schools don't have.
