The teachers are excellent and I am looking forward to sending all my boys to King Lab and having as many different teachers as possible. That way I can get to know most of the faculty.

The arts program is amazing! Having kindergarteners through 8th grade in one building is a great asset to both the primary age and the middle school.

The teachers & families are wonderful. Everyone pitches in to make the school as good as it can be. The PTA goes out of their way to ensure that we keep art and music in the curriculum. We are so happy to be a part of this community!

I love that my kids are so excited to go to school everyday. King Lab has the most wonderful and dedicated teachers. I love the focus on fine arts and technology which affords the students opportunities that they would otherwise not have. The school is a close-knit community that respects the diversity of each family.
