I have 3 children who have passed through this middle school. The teaching here leaves a little to be desired. There's a high percentage of low income families assigned to this school and often times smart kids are not adequately challenged because teachers are focused on the struggling kids.The sports teams are also mid level. The school itself trains their teams pretty well but the competition is poor. This school does not provide a level of athleticism that competes with AAU level teams. If sports is important in your school selection you're better off going to Desert Hills or Chinook.The administration in the school is terrible. They are difficult to deal with and constantly lie and cover each other's backs. I have caught them repeatedly lying in emails. Sadly even the district is reluctant to do anything about this. I can't speak to whether this is the case at other KSD schools.One of my children was the target of another student's harrassment and when I questioned the district's policies and training on how to deal with it they gave me the run around and brushed it off. Fortunately that principal is gone now and the new one is doing better. I am still convinced this school lacks where others do not, and will be considering a different middle school for my fourth child.It is worth mentioning that while my children all get great grades and are in honors, they are never excited about going to this school.

Push those kids out don't get to know them or care

They say care about their student, they do but not all only some. They don’t care about bully not do nothing to stop it let alone be on the victim side. They are so unprofessional they take it to social media and laugh about certain situations. Fickle has posted on his Facebook and principal had reacted with her laughing emoji. So what parents find concerning they find funny.
