I attended this school from 1st grade to 4th grade. It was horrific. Absolutely terrible, I was consistently bullied while the principal did nothing to anyone for anything. Mr. LaRoux (when he was there, unsure if he or any of the old teachers still work there), Ms. Wesley and Ms. Vanderbolt were all very amazing teachers, they convinced me that learning was worth it and made me love school when the other kids were terrible to me. I do not recommend this school at all. Please send your children to literally any other school.

My son went to this school for less than a school year and was bullied several times with NOTHNG being done about it or to the bullies. I had to threaten to have the police called if it happened again before they "found" a way to put him on the other 6th grade block. He was still bullied with nothing being done, even had a child punch him in the face and nothing was done. I had a child (who I later found out had a 1-to-1 paraprofessional) approach my car in the lot as I was picking my son up with no adult in sight. They have asked me THREE times if we are moving him to another school and all three times I have said yes and given them the name of the school he will be attending. THREE times?! That's crazy! I don't know what the admin and staff are doing but it is definitely not taking care of our children and ensureing their safety!

I had my reservations about sending my daughter to this school because of the 2 out of 10 it received on this website. Once I realized that the academic rating is for K-12 and that the elementary level has much better scoring than that, I felt more comfortable. A few things that I love about this school. First, my daughter is able to do dance, drama, art, and music at school. It is less time away from home in the evenings because I don't have to put her in outside classes. Secondly, the teachers at this school (speaking at the elementary level) are outstanding. I've been so impressed with their level of commitment to helping all of the children excel. My child was already reading when she started kindergarten, but they have been wonderful about differentiating for her and others, and they have a great gifted and talented teacher who works with the kids as well.Last of all, the elementary level principal is awesome! She collaborates with teachers and parents and is constantly working to improve the school (on all levels. i.e. teaching, data, culture). This school has a great community feel and gives great academic opportunities as well as art-filled experiences.

It was horrible! My kid got bullied and I had reported it multiple times but the school refuse to do something so when my kid actually got into a fight with the bully he was the one suspended while the other kid got a apology and chips?! This school is perfect for kids that are trouble makers since they get rewarded instead.

Honestly, As a parent I find these other reviews hilariously ridiculous. One review is from a parent who cares enough about their student to leave a bad review but not enough to help them dress according to the rules, the other two are from parents who are obviously disengaged from the school and are rating it off of second hand information. The truth is that the school's Principle, leadership and teachers are great, and really care about the students. The area around the school (where I reside) is a troubled community and the strides Kepner has made in such a short time is no less than amazing. I love this school, and my students do too. The difference between my review and these others is that mine is from a first hand account aswell as from an engaged parent who is active in this school. I could not say enough good things about this school. Is it perfect? No...but no school is. However, people need to stop blaming schools when in reality the issue is their lack of parent involvement.

Nuestra experiencia ha sido maravillosa, nuestra hija se ha acoplado muy bien, el acompañamiento y las clases extracurriculares han sido de gran apoyo!

As a legal guardian, I was deliberately excluded from my child’s education without any court order. The school relied on false internal forms to grant others access and decision-making authority while refusing to recognize my lawful parental rights. Staff repeatedly dismissed my role as a parent, causing emotional distress to my child and harm to his education. This is a serious failure of legal compliance and accountability that should never occur in a public school.
