Kids Community College

I agree completely with the statement below. Both of my children attend Kid's Community College and they thoroughly enjoy it. The volunteer hour requirement keeps me and my husband active in the educational development of our children. The teachers are friendly and always available to meet and answer my questions. The principal, Mr. Kilpatrick, is a caring individual who has the best interest of every student at heart. We are blessed to have found KCC.

I am so pleased that I chose to enroll my son at Kid's Community College Charter School. I can not speak highly enough of the individual attention and caring environment that my son was given during this past school year. At Kid's Community College we are not simply a number at a school, but members of an educational community. We can't wait to start the new school year in August. Go Cougars!!!!

Kid's Community College is a small school that is growing. There have been concerns about changes at the school with teachers, and administration. As we all know change over in teachers sometimes cannot be controlled. My personal opinion as a parent, if a teacher doesn't want to be there or not doing what they need to be doing, they need to move on. I am happy with the education my child has gotten, and will continue to support the school. With parent support, that is the only way the school is going to grow, and become a better school.

My child has been going to KCC since she was in kindergarten and I have been very happy with the school. She has done outstanding on the FCATS, and has learned so much at this school. All the teachers she has had have been really nice, and concerned about their students. When you walk into the school, the staff at the front desk are very nice, and warm, and make all the families feel welcomed. I am looking forward for my child to attend the middle school.

This was our first year at KCC and we didn't really know what to expect. There seemed to be some transition occurring, but we still received a warm welcome from the administration and teachers. Having had my daughter in private schools then home schooled last year, our expectations for her learning was extremely high. WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED! She showed significant learning all year and did extremely well on state tests. I remain impressed by the individual attention she was given all year. Great job KCC!

We haven't started at KCC yet, but were notified of our acceptance back in May after being on the wait list for nearly 3 years! Though we haven't been in class yet, I'm really impressed by the weekly Friday Focus updates we receive via email and for the telephone updates about important matters. We have met the front office staff and had to go in for a few things to get ready for next year - they have been awesome! We love the level of communication and follow through - what a change from the charter school we left to come here. We can't wait to start.

I sent my daughter to this school based the excellent parent review, turned out to be not quite what I expected. I can't judge other teachers' quality, but the teacher of my daughter's class is a young graduate freshly out of college, does not have much experience in teaching, also not very friendly towards the students. The so called individualized education plan didn't work as they claimed. After all, how can you expect one teacher can teach the whole class of students on 3 different subject at 3 different level for each student. It may be good intention, but poorly executed. I hope they have updated their lunch room by now, it was a joke back then when my daughter was enrolled there. The front desk stuff are very nice and warm though.

KCC is a great school with a caring, compassionate and considerate staff. We've been here for three years and love the involvement they promote and the involvement they have in student and community enrichment activities. They've made some administrative and instructional changes over the years, but they always seem to be be made with the students in mind. We plan on being here for a long time!

this is one of the best School there is in Florida. The dedication and love the teachers extend to the students goes up and beyond all others. The desire and drive to see every child to succeed in life is so improtant. My son attends KCC and I do not want him to be at any other school. I love KCC. The shcool also leads in allowing the parents to be an active part of the school working side by side. KCC truly follows their mission: Dedicated to the well-being and educational success of EVERY Child!!! I am a parent and also a teacher of the school.

My Child attended KCC in Lithia and the teachers have been more then what we could have asked for. I feel they have prepared my son for kindergarten next school year. However I am hugely disappointment in the management at this school. I chose to drive over 30min away so that my son could have a preferred spot at the elementary school of which they apparently didnt put our information threw. When we contacted the elementary school they convenient found our paper work with our membership donation. Our calls were never returned, so who knows if my child has a spot for next year. Another issue we have had this year is with an overturn of teachers. Our first two teachers were fantastic, then the lead teacher had to move (completely understandable), our second set of teacher were also fantastic. Then all of a sudden less then 3 weeks of school left and they fired Mrs. Amy during teacher appreciation week! She was just voted teacher of the year! My son loved her dearly, and with no notice yet another teacher gone. Reasons of which we still have no real answer to. I cant speak about the elementary school but the lithia location leaders have poor communication with parents and KCC Elem.
