I would not let my daughter attend KMS this year after what I learned from last year. We moved here 6 yrs ago to be in a great school district, loved Waggoner, hated KMS...what a disappointment! The school has gone down in so many areas. Test scores, which many parents tried to bring to the schools

Their form of punishment. The bullying that is constant and students are afraid of retaliation. My daughter said there were fights almost every day out by the buses, behind the buildings, everywhere. She did not feel safe and I did not feel like school should be a scary place for her. We are so happy we enrolled her in a charter school this year. Read less

She has made life-long friends and was always happy about going to school. All of the teachers we had the pleasure of meeting were AWESOME! Ms. Pam Adams is the best! She is always willing to help and always friendly and should be back at the front desk!

During class the teachers waste so much time explaining concepts to kids who don't care they can't challenge the ones who do want to learn.

The test scores and accountablity for KMS have decreased over the last few years.

this has gone from a very outstanding school, to extremely 'ghetto', in a short period of time. over two thirds of my child's science classmates were flunking as of third quarter. the teachers seem very caring and dedicated, but the administration appears lost and adrift in a sea of apathy. many students

I have been disappointed with this school. There are some great teachers, but also some teachers that should change professions! This year the school failed their requirements for math. They had no plan until the last 4 months of school for improvement. My quiet child was ignored when needed help,
