This is a good school but next year 2005-2006 students will have to wear uniforms. This school is strict but that makes it a better learning environment.

I am impressed with Kingswood and the great support of staff in trying to best meet the needs of all students. Collaboration among teachers is a priority as well as training so teachers can differentiate their instruction. Parent involvement is up over the last 3 years by over 60%. I have found the

Teaching is a public act, I have found that to be true at Kingswood where most teachers have no problem with parents observing and helping in the classroom. The Achievement Gap has closed since 2000. The real tragedy is that Kingswood has been sanctioned on technicalities. How many schools in the state have a score of close to 700 with sanctions? Interesting that as a 'low performing' school we were asked to apply for California Distinguished School Award. Read less

Kindergartners that already could read and have no attention problems are doing fine in his class, although children that started out behind are having difficulty learning the basics, and catching up to the high expectations of being able to read and write full sentences by the end of kindergarten.

I am very sad to see my kids enter into another school district. Kingswood became more than just a place to send the kids to learn, they all became a part of our family.

My son transferred to Kingswood from a private catholic school when he was in Kindergarten. He has remained at Kingswood and will be in the 2nd grade in the Fall 2003. The principal at Kingswood is very dedicated to the school, teachers, and students. She is a very strong advocate for funding, parent

Academically, the children work very hard and sometimes have a disproportionate large amount of homework (but I've found this to be teacher-specific). The school also has Discovery Club extension for before and after-school care lending itself to contiguous education and childcare all in one. I am extremely proud to have my son attend Kingswood Elementary! Read less
