Not only is KMS clean with state-of-the-art facilities but it also has some of the best teaching staff with programs that benefit all levels of learning.

This is an awesome school! the staff is so very dedicated, they all run after school activites and programs without compensation. The teachers at the high school are compensated. The principal is amazing. His door is Always... Open! and he always has an open ear and a smile for everyone. I have not seen him treat anyone unfairly. He is an amazing leader! Teachers/staff and students think he is great! The open ness to try new things and the way that this school is open to parent volunteers is exceptional. Parents have numerous opportunities to be involved all day long, from running after school clubs and groups, to running the school store, to doing newsletters, web page, brochures, etc.

This is the first year for our son and he loves the teachers, the opportunities, and the sense of guided independence. We are very impressed with the quality and dedication of the faculty and administration at KMS.

I'm not sure how the parent below can make such a blanket statement. Both my sons attended KMS and one recently graduated, and I never found a lack of emphathy. Nearly all the teachers wer fantastic (we are dealing with humans here). Great school.

The quality of academic programs is excellent as is the quality of most of the teachers. The one thing that needs to be improved, however, is teacher empathy. The students do not need to be treated in a harsh way because they forgot a book, or an assignment on occassion.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Rhode Island used the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 11 in reading and math, in grades 5, 8 and 11 in writing, and in grades 4, 8 and 11 in science. The NECAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Rhode Island. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
