CKS has really blown it. It could have been the 'jewel of South Tampa' and I believe we were heading there about seven years ago. However,the leadership that became involved led us down a path that has runied our reputation in S. TPA because they put most of the emphasis on the facilities and not academics.
... Read more The faculty is largely unmotivated. The curriculum is non-exsistent, and there is absolutley no confidence that the junior high can prepare our children for high school (public or private). Even the religious aspect has suffered since the nuns left. Bullying is tolerated which is completely unacceptable. Parental involvement is high but that can be found in almost any S.Tampa School.

Christ the King provides a nurturing, Christian environment for our children to learn. The parents are partners in education and have so many opportunities to interact at school. The school is going through some growing pains right now, but we know it has what it takes to stay the course and be true
... Read more to its history of excellence. We have been impressed with the quality of our children's instruction in three different grade levels. When we look at where CKS grads are going to high school and how exceptional they are doing there, it told us that CKS is setting the solid foundation that our kids need to succeed. Through its spiritual emphasis and opportunities for service, CKS also helps our kids take responsibility to care for others. Wouldn't want to be anywhere else! Read less

Christ the King tries really hard and has a wonderful group of parents that support the school but it really falls woefully short on most fronts. Most parent's concerns are not addressed in any meaningful way.

CKS is upfront about academics not being their primary focus- because they 'need to meet the needs of the entire parish'. Okay for midlevel intellect but not challenging for gifted or supportive of special needs. This being said, those in charge of decision making profess to be forward-thinking when
... Read more they are encouraging parents to donate money for the building fund- even though no new programs or classes are being added. The arts are weak in theory and even art projects tend to be too tedious to hold childrens' interest much less excitement. Musical programs including talent show have a few stars showcased, but too much practice for the participation of most. Religion is emphasized in younger grades and then again before confirmation, mostly similar to secular except Religion. Bullying is surprisingly tolerated unless physical, and even then 'forgiven'.

As a former student of Christ the King school, I believe that I should have received a better education for the amount of money my parents spent there. The academics in the elementary grades were not bad - actually I felt that I learned a great deal in grades K-5. However, when I began sixth grade, I

Luckily, most of the students that attended Christ the King were quite gifted and did not need a great deal of help. However, those that were not, got almost none. I've heard that things are improving around there, and I'm glad. Don't get me wrong, I had a great time at CKS. I just don't believe it was as beneficial as it should have been. Read less
