The first day I took my son to his classroom, I explained to his first year teacher that he was ADHD with ODD. In his documents I put the same thing. Had been asking for an IEP or 504 plan for months and my son would just be getting write ups for everything. Granted my son is extremely smart but he gets frustrated and angry when he doesn't understand something, gets frustrated, or feel like he's being picked on. No one heard me until October and FINALLY decided to give me what I was looking for which was a 504 plan. Even with that they still kept writing him up and IDK what they were actually doing to help him seems as though this school did not support his needs. Then in the last month in a half the before school director writes him up every monday as if he was trying to get rid of him in the program. These schools know that write ups travel with students from school to school and I feel like they wanted to give him a bad rap sheet. This school needs to do better when it comes to special needs children. Doin't look past them and rule them as bad kids. I do not like this school. I'm very involved in my sons life and school but this school I'm over it. If it was the end of the school year I'd send him to another school.

As a parent of two alumni, I can attest that conflicts and substance abuse issues are inevitable; do not assume that a school with nearly three thousand students will be immune to these challenges. Nonetheless, the manner in which they are addressed is of utmost importance. As your child enrolls in this institution, ensure their participation in various programs offered, such as JROTC, culinary arts, and Dual Enrollment. It is essential to remember that your child continues to require guidance, and parents along with school staff collaborate to support the students' best interests.

My daughter attends KMS and absolutely loves it! I have only wonderful things to say about their Principal, the GATE program, and their PTSA. Lots of amazing events highlighting music and art programs, talent shows, school carnivals, dances... always something fun happening on campus. Schedule a tour; you won't be disappointed.
