Martin Luther King Elementary School

So far things are okay. I'm concerned that there isn't enough parent participation. Communication can be stressful at times. It's not unheard of to receive a flyer after an event. Or, 2-3 about the same event with confliciting information. I would say a parent definitely needs to be involved.

King is the most wonderful school I could have ever had my children attend. The teachers and staff can not be found any where else. They are the very best.

I went to King last year! All the teachers that were there were so fun and made learning fun like all teachers should do. I left school every day with a smile on my face because of my teacher Miss.G! She's Awesome! She made every day seem like game not that it really was but she made all most every one in our class WANT to come to school. King is an awesome school and my kids are go'in there.

MLK has been a great school for my children. The only problem I have which concerns me is the use of candy as rewards and candy sales to children on campus. I believe parents should have control over whether their children get candy/sugar.

I'm in the eighth grade and I attended King Elementary.I've been on the honor roll since I was in the fourth grade and I still am today. I will be taking advanced english classes in highschool. I am an A and B student and have never gotten an F in my entire life. King Elementary helped me to get to where I am now and I am thankful for that. My sister also went to King and is now a mortgage broker and her three children all attend King. All of my teachers have high hopes for me and I am going to fullfill them.

My stepdaughter attended MLK for 6 years - now at Middle School, it is obvious how unprepared she is for it. She received straight As on all of her report cards in MLK yet still doesn't know her multiple table. They use 'homework packets' so kids never learn how to organize themselves and become responsible for turning in work - and these packets that are assigned a week apart are a far cry from the daily homework middle school requires. She got As in writing at King yet she can't even write an essay or a well formed paragraph. By Middle School they should also be well practiced for oral and written reports -this year will be her first. She passed her Math WASL, yet scored in the bottom 30% of the nation in Math. If we could only get a 'do over'
