This school does not care about the students at all. They are only concerned about their name and rank in the state.
As a graduate of this school, I believed my children would be best served here. My children are part of the open enrollment program, they have been for over 6 years, and now we are moving back into the area to keep them there (their choice). All schools have problems with clicks and popularity; but I think it is becoming a larger and potentially uncontrolled problem for this school. My child is almost "bullied" as a Freshman because of rank. I also believe that some extra curricular activities are currently being placed before academics; this was obvious to me the other day as my child spent almost 14 hours at the school for one activity (and classes). Overall, I love this school, but I'm beginning to question the methods of its education.
I am a student at Kingsley middle and their is too much of a budget cut!
I coach here and the school is great! The athletic program is awesome, but suffering due to lack of funds.
My daughter began her school career and currently remains enrolled at Kingsley. I believe wholeheartedly that my daughter is getting the best education possible considering the public school system. My daughter is a school of choice student and I am so thankful for Kingsley. 97% of their staff are absolutely awesome!
I am concerned that this school puts to much emphasis on sports and not enough emphasis on academia for our children. This year they cut elementary art and a social worker for the high school even though they had a balanced budget. How many of the children in emotional crisis in the high school will suffer for this decision. It looks like money means more than children.
I as a parent am concerned about our childrens safety and fairness.
