Kimball School is an excellent public school with an exuberant past. The teachers there, especially for the upper grades enrich the students with knowledge that will actually benefit the students. My 4th grade teacher taught us the parts of the exhaustion system in a car! He also brought in his breadmaker in the middle of the year to teach us how to follow directions. Everyday a student would be picked to bake the bread by following the oral directions. I am a (non-official) honor student at the school and I wouldn't be without Mr.S. One of the many fine teachers at this school. (Mr.S was tough on grammar and spelling, as you can probably tell from reading this. Sincerely, A Student.
