Kimpton is an OK school but Hudson is better. Most teachers are okay the smartest students are put on Teams 7-4 and 8-2 with 2 advanced class programs (one of them being math) They keep on changing principals, but that's okay. Some teachers are helpful, others could care less. Some are stereotypical.

I have had 2 children go through the Stow School system and have been pleased with their educational experiences. I am also a working parent and have found that the teachers and administrators at Kimpton are more than willing to do whatever they can to work with parents and students. Without fail,
... Read more these people go above and beyond to help children achieve their potential. I believe that if anything, the administration should be a little tougher on disciplinary issues. While the zero tolerance policy may seem tough, I appreciate the fact that it helped to keep my children safe. I also appreciated it when the administration took the necessary steps to remove children who caused classroom disruptions. I personally have found that staying involved in my children's lives and education (even though I work full-time)is the key. Overall, KMS is an outstanding school! Read less

My son had a team of teachers in 8th grade who planned a unit based around the book by Homer Hickham which integrated Science, English, and Math. It was fun for the students and they learned much in the process. I have found that most of the teachers I have come in contact with at Kimpton are professional and caring. The principal, Mrs. DiTommaso is very professional and is all about doing what is best for the students; it is her priority. Read less

This school has a lot of extra-curricular programs for after school.

The teachers here are very caring and try to help their students as much as they can. Parent

Contrary to what was said in the other post, the leadership is very strong. I am always able to come home and talk to my family about something new that happened in school today. I am glad I was able to be apart of the Kimpton Middle School 'family.' Read less

The stow monroe falls school district leaves alot to be desired. Teachers and administrative staff do not work with parents. Parents have no say in their childs education. The school does not work with parents to keep their children in school. Their zero tolerance protocol simply means that they

The staff is unapproachable and never cares enough to try to find solutions to childrens issues. If you are a working parent you will find the school system to be not so flexible. If my children had attended stow schools prior to us buying our home we would have never purchased a home in this city. Read less
