We have had the privilege of sending two children through King's West School. Our son started in 8th grade and our daughter in 7th. Both of them thrived in the wholesome, nurturing environment. Both were challenged academically and spiritually. Both were WELL prepared for college. The teachers and staff

It is a family atmosphere and students are not allowed to 'get away' with mediocre. They are challenged with morality, self-discipline and integrity... something difficult to achieve in the public school setting. I highly recommend King's West School. Read less

Our first child started at Kings West in K & cont'd thru 3rd. We reached a financial wall & could not afford to continue her education there so we open enrolled her into the best public elementary school in our district. She was so far ahead it was hard for them to keep her challenged. She was moved

When our second daughter reached school age we wanted to give her the same start her sister had but felt guilty about not bringing her sister back to Kings West so we applied for financial aid & enrolled both girls in Kings West. Our older daughter feels like she is home & is being challenged & thriving & excelling again in her school work, our younger daughter is also excelling & is growng scholastically and spirtually.

Would give the school a five-star review, but...unless you are a born-again, right wing conservative (yes, I know that's redundant) you will not enjoy yourself. I'm Christian (adjective, not noun) but consider myself moderate in my politics, and don't fit in very well. Many students are incredibly

Placing my child here was the best choice ever. The teachers have high expectations instead of just letting kids skate by doing the least possible, and as a result their graduates generally excell.

I would not recommend this school unless your a complete genius. The teachers there put way too much pressure on you to do well, and assign way too much homework. The rules are horribly strict and so much time is wasted on enforcing them.horribl

Do not send your child to this school for kindergarten, especially if you have a smart, active child. We were told by the educational 'professional' at this school that our child was 'immature' and 'disruptive' and that he should be held back one year. We moved our child to another school, (public,

Unless they actually hire an individual who actually has experience with young, active, intelligent children in the future, you are wasting your time and money and creating unnecessary stress for your child.

King's West has been a wonderful blessing to all three of our children. The faculty is warm, yet sets high standards, so the students receive challenge but also lots of encouragement. Most impressive to me has been the way the students have welcomed our boys when they transferred to King's West from

Our oldest is now in junior high, and I'm delighted with his cross country experience as well -- once again, he's being pushed to do his best, but in a very supportive atmosphere that's consistent among coaches and athletes. We'd highly recommend King's West for anyone in Kitsap County. Read less

We found King's West by accident - we call it grace. Our oldest son entered King's West in 7th grade because we just couldn't send him to he local public jumior high. Now in 8th grade, he has found support to achieve personal excellence and guidance to expand his faith. We have since enrolled our 6th

Students, teachers and parents are open and willing to help in academics, sports and faith. If you live in Kitsap county and you have kids - you owe them and to yourself a visit to King's West. In 2006, 100% of the graduates went to colleg on a combined scholarship award of over $1,000,000. Excellnce in proof. Read less

I attended this school for one year, unhappy with the public school. The discipline in this school is horrible. There is always a constant disruption in classrooms, when kids get sent out they get a 'stern speaking to' by the principle, then can go back to disrupting. The academics are okay, but I was
... Read more only challenges by about 2 teachers. The extracurricular activities are their, only is people want to do the sport though, alot of the kids are lazy. There aren't many clubs, but you can bring up an idea to a teacher. They do have mission trips. The atmosphere is nice, but the same people are always around, so you have to be friends with everyone, which some people I just don't get along with. I would like to stay, but am not heart broken i can't. Read less
