Kaposia Education Center Elementary School

My child attended this school from kindergarten-2nd grade. There are many thins thaat can be worked on by the leadership of this school. They allow teachers to use humiliation as a form of discipline, create rules that are not communicated to parents, cannot offer advanced/gifted student testing or a program, allow teachers to provide completely false or inflated feedback to parents. My child was refused the right to go to the bathroom 3 times during gym class. Consequently, extensively wet their pants in front of the entire class.I would not recommend the current leadership of this school.

My granddaughter goes there and she likes it very much. My neighbors think it is a great school also. To bad the school is getting over crowded because the people in Inver Grove are sending them there instead of their own school district. That must tell you something, if Inver Grove students are going there instead of their own schools.

Kaposia Education Center is a great school. My daughter has attended Kaposia since 1st grade and is now starting 4th grade. The teachers have been wonderful and very supportive. My only complaint is that no programs are available for gifted students. My daughter complains that the work is too easy. Her teacher for third grade did a wonderful job of giving her more challenging school work and homework. I would recommend the school.

We are grandparents raising a grandson who came to live with us in the 4th grade. Our grandson had attended Kaposia since preschool. He had some behavior issues, acting out because of the emotional time he was going through. We kept the lines of communication open with the teachers and staff, and they couldn't have been more supportive. In my opinion, for the most part, teachers and especially the principal, fully understand they are working with children, not adults, and do not try to resolve children's issues using adult remedies. Note: Our grandson also experienced bullying on the playground as someone else mentioned, and I would like to see 'zero tolerance' addressed so the bully is disciplined, not the victim as well; sends the wrong message. School has very friendly and inviting atmosphere. Highly rated elementary education overall.

I ve had two children attend Kaposia Elementary. They ve done very well academically and have been very good students and well behaved. The teaching staff has been very friendly and helpful in explaining how my children are doing each Trimester. They ve also done an excellent job in keeping the parents actively involved. I think they do a great job overall. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone who is thinking of moving to the community.

I feel Kaposia Elementary is lacking very much in their own policies such as Zero Tollerance. My child was injured with a swollen cheek and black eye at recess and was not allowed to go in to see the nurse. My daughter was being bullied and I finally had to talk to the teacher so that something would be done about it. I feel my kids could be taught a higher, more structured education if staff cared about what was going on with the school. I don't plan on sending my kids back this upcoming school year. They have been attending since 2002 and it's only gotten worse.

I feel this school is average. There could be much more help in recognizing children with Special Education needs. I've had 3 children in this school. My oldest was allowed to go from grade to grade failing miserably, my 2nd child did quite well but had a lot of missing homework, and my youngest was the only child that was addressed to have an IEP done. All 3 of my children were involved in some kind of physical contact from another child that was never reported to me. I feel Kaposia felt more like a more rural school in a suburban setting with much more room to improve.
