It is a great school with a great teachers. My child go to that school and she likes it because of the principal and teachers. The teachers there try to make everything as fun as possible. This is a great school to go to because it is an the first IB school in Maine. The principal has excelent leadership amd is very friendly. They have a "Gifted and Talented" Math and Language Arts class. They also have French, Spanish, Band, Gym, Chorus, Robotics, and a lot of extra-curricular activities. Although they don't have a lot of things that involves parents, they treat the parents like friends and partners. Basically, it is a great place!
Facilities are good, but administration and quality of teaching leaves a lot to be desired. We should expect more in this town.
This is a great school because of the teachers. They really care about the students and there is a fantastic sense of the community. The only negative part of the school is the current Principal, Fran Farr, who does nothing more than introduce speakers and show off her shows. Luckily, the Vice Principal, Doug Perley, more than makes up for her incompetence. Additionally, the 2007-2008 school year is her last year (thank goodness). Overall, my child had a nice experience there.
We feel extremely fortunate to have our child at MSK. It is a beautiful school with excellent teachers who have many years experience (some were there when I went to Jr.High). We remain in the district specifically for the school system and are active in its activities including the fantastic sports programs, extra-curricular activities, and parent-teacher groups. Our district has seen a tremendous growth from other states and our schools are a big part of that. Our children have fantastic resources and a supportive town/community. Our teachers are the very best education has to offer and there is tremendous support from parents and community as well. It is a very cohesive environment! D.H.
MSK is a great school to go to. I myself find the learning program useful, and the teachers are a pleasure to work with. Going there myself This school is the best one you could go to in York County. Our princpal is extremely nice and so is the VP, but the VP gives harsh punnishments when necessairy. The teachers all like helping you find your way to classes on your first day, and the students help too! I would hate going to a different school for my middle shcool years.
