Excellent high school education. Incredible music program. Lots of great AP classes. Fantastic preparation for college. Many students say that after taking honors/AP classes at Hall, classes at flagship State U's were a breeze.

KP is a well-rounded school with kind, good-natured, and highly-experienced staff who work hard to improve and adapt every year based on student and parent feedback. Everyone from the principal to the teachers and counselors to the nurse and administrative staff has made a positive impact on my son (and several of his friends, according to him.)They have helped my son through many types of struggles so far. He’s been happier, less stressed, and more successful than ever before. They challenge him in subjects where he excels and provide extra assistance in areas affected by learning disabilities where he needs more help. They’ve helped him navigate social-emotional, executive functioning, and academic issues. The homework and time-management strategies they teach have actually helped. He’s even been able to move into an honors course. The educators and counselors are very practical and seem to understand the various timing differences in kids’ development at this difficult age, and they foster a wide range of learning styles.They also provide tons of free resources and assistance for families struggling through hardship both at school and in their home lives. There are plenty of opportunities for parents to help out or volunteer if they can, but there isn’t a bunch of pressure to give money or tons of unpaid labor to make sure the kids get a quality education and fun experiences.I feel like my feedback has mattered in school issues and changes. I also don’t feel like I have to dedicate 100% of my evenings and weekends to help my son struggle through homework since he gets so much support at school. He gets a lot of work done there, which frees up more home time for personal interests, activities, and friends. Many of the teachers and staff have or previously had their own children in this school district, and it really shows.We specifically came to this school district because we had heard so many great things, though it was a difficult move for us to make. We’re relieved that we made the change and are grateful to be here. This experience has really changed my outlook on my son’s academic future and ability to be a self-sufficient and happy future adult.

My son just finished kindergarten. I’m thrilled with the entire school & staff. It’s a real sense of community.

The school is terrible and the school is horrible never send you’re kid here
