JN Kellett is an excellent school. The teachers really care about the students. I have two children attend Kellet, one is in high school now. When I take my younger child to school, the teachers still ask about my older child by name. That means a lot.

I love Kellett Elementary. As I former homeschooling parent, I was somewhat apprehensive about my child beginning public school after having had my complete attention at home. I wanted her to have a good experience but more than that, I wanted her to feel that she was more than just a number. The teachers have been so patient with her, teaching her organizational skills along with her regular studies. They have helped her make friends. I have watched how the teachers work to make sure each child is safe and not 'left behind'. The teachers are totally dedicated. I feel like we are a team in my child's education. I am so happy that my daughter is at Kellett.

About the tests

In 2011-2012 South Carolina used the Palmetto Assessment of State Standards (PASS) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in writing, English/Language Arts, Math, Social Studies and Science. The PASS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of South Carolina. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
