Kinnan puts kids first! It is a wonderful school with a caring staff.
My oldest daughter started this school it's second year open and is now in 7th grade. When she went to middle school she was way ahead of the other kids from different elementary schools. My second daughter is now in 2nd grade and loves the school also. The teachers are excellent!!!
My kids love this school and their teachers. Their grades and skills improve each year.
I also have been at Kinnan since the doors opened. My daughter is starting the 3rd grade. So far her teachers have been knowledgable, giving and caring. My son starts highschool this year in the IB (International Baccalaureate) program. I believe he has been able to achieve his success due to the education background he received at Kinnan.
we have been at Kinnan since the very first day it opened! It is a wonderful school and has so many loving, caring teachers. I could not ask for anything better for my kids!
I am thrilled that my children have been able to attend such a wonderful school. My daughter graduated last year, and my son will be in the fourth grade this year. This is a wonderful school with an incredibly caring staff. I am very pleased with everything at Kinnan.
My son has been going to Kinnan since Kindergarten and we love the school and staff. My son has done very well there and the atmosphere is that of a smaller school because the children receive personal and caring attention.
I took my son out of Kinnan. We moved here in July. I did my reserch of schools in the area months in advance. We visited several schools and we felt Kinnan was a great choice for my son, he is a 4th grader with ADD and special needs for reading disabilities. After he was inrolled I started seeing problems, the teachers being the bigest. Their answer to his reading problems was to get him out the mainstreem class. He wasn't put in a special ED class but was taken out of his class 3 times a day for what they called learning labs. Mind you he has ADD and this was a bad idea because he needs to staying focus and they were constantly shuffeling him around. I've tried speaking to the prinipal and got no where. There were also safty issue that fell on deaf ears.
I have a kindergartener at Kinnan. We agonized all of last year. Should we send him to private school or public school or home school? We wanted the best for him and I have to tell you that I couldn't have paid for a better experience than my son has had at Kinnan. They have excellent teachers and staff. He has grown socially and academically. They have a uniform policy and I think that this forces the students to develop identities based on personality and achievements instead of clothes. It is a wonderful school!
