Kaneland Middle School provides a great education for my children. It's not perfect, but what school is? Overall it's a fabulous place to send your kids.

My son attended Kaneland Middle from 2007-2008. It's not the kind of school I attended by no means but the education has got to be good since they rated a 7 out of 10. The projects my son came home with were difficult, so I thought, but he seemed to get it together and figure them out. He never showed motivation until he went to Kaneland. It was a good challenge for him. Kids need that challenge today, otherwise they get bored and end up cutting class. I deducted one star for discipline. We need stronger discipline in all our schools, and I deducted 1 star for the maintenance of the school.

Honestly, I would not go to kaneland. It is way too overcrowded, and I cannot understand why the school keeps accepting more students. We have had several referendums, and they have not passed. The teaching staff never seems happy, and they all act like they don't want to be here. Our staff has changed, and I as an 8th grader, have to say this is the worst year ever of my middle school life, I go to classes at the high school in the morning, and then get shipped back to the middle school in the afternoon to continue my day of classes. I am extremely upset with going to kaneland. I would not reccomend going to this school to anyone.

Kaneland Middle School seemed like a good option in the beginning. The teachers talked a good talk, the facilities were clean and well-kept, the course offerings seemed interesting, and the availability of extracurricular activities were excellent. However, once my daughter began to attend this school, everything went down hill. 1) Teacher involvement - teachers would rather send children home to ask parents for homework help rather than take time to provide assistance themselves. 2) School library - I never knew so many vampire and death-related books existed until I saw the titles of books my daughter started bringing home! 3) Peer pressure - the intensity of rivalry among groups and total lack of teacher intervention is devastating! 4) Student grades - how can a teacher knowlingly allow a student to fail for months without notifying the parents?

For a county (as opposed to urban) setting, Kaneland is a fair school. Options available with various levels of 'Challenge' or advance placement classes is very good. Standard classes are standard.
