Kimbrough has some of the best teachers in the profession. However, after coming from a wonderful elementary that encourages parent involvement and actually values parents, I've felt as though the administration would rather not have parents around. Often you feel as though you are interrupting them

My children attend this school. I can't say enough about how hard the teachers work and how caring they are toward their students. The administration is wonderful! They are very easy to work with and very open and willing to work with parents and students.

The special education program at this school is beyond compare. Ms Blair and Ms Finch are the most caring and helpful teachers I have ever encountered. The Administration does leave something to be desired. They care only about each other and not the self esteem of the students.

I've had 3 kids go through this school, all straight A and/or honor students. The teachers for the most part are excellent with two glaring exceptions. Unfortunately, the administration is only there for the teachers and not for the students. Their main objective is to back up teachers whether or

Unless a student has been in trouble they should not be treated like they are trouble-makers. They treat all students like they are bad kids instead of giving them the benefit of the doubt. I hope I can get out of this district before my last child has to deal with them. Poteet has been wonderful for my 2 children that have gone through there. They are respectful and fair in the way they treat the kids. Read less

Both my children went to Kimbrough and until this year I have been very pleased. The teachers are highly skilled and work hard to bring out the best in each child. The problem is not with any of their teachers, but with the administration including the Principal and 8th grade Assistant Principal.

While I think that most of the teachers at this school were good, I do not think the school went (when my children attended there) far enough to prevent bullying. It seemed that they turned a blind eye to it even while knowing that middle school is typically the educational stage in which most bullying

I have sent two children to Kimbrough and am about to send a third. I can't imagine sending my child to any other middle school in the district. The administration, staff and teachers all have a genuine concern for the students. The teachers work very hard to prepare the students for high school.
