I have 2 children at Miwok now and both absolutely love it! Having experience with TK, K and now 1st grade - the teachers are amazing, taking the time to individualize learning and tools for kids at different levels. The monthly fun-run's are great for exercise (under the health and wellness charter) as well as school moral, the weekly rally's are fun and very positive. The fact that the staff all truly care for each and stay there because of each other really shows how caring the learning environment is. I feel like the PTO is recovering from covid as older parents/students moved on, but there is a great energy from the new/young parents who want to build up this community :)

My child spent their middle school on the computer. Coming to the school as a 9th grader, in a mask, was really stressful. Casa has a large student body and staff. It’s clear that the administration and teachers are still reeling from the effects of the pandemic, and yet I feel that they are doing their best and providing the kids with a solid education and lots of opportunities for growth outside the classroom. They have occasional lunchtime concerts, countless clubs, sports and activities, as well as a better than average EL program, including an English Learner parent education program (I know because I am doing Spanish language exchange lessons with a fellow parent) that helps non-English speakers navigate the system. Most reviews of the school are terrible- it’s just a shame that the people who are satisfied with the school don’t take the time to write anything, so I thought I would. I think sometimes parents don’t have time or don’t know how to deal with the many issues that plague teenagers today and they expect the schools, teachers, and administration to handle everything. The only reason I didn’t give five stars is that some of the facilities are a little worn.

Our family is VERY happy at Kenilworth! The teachers are amazing and really go out of their way to connect with every student. During distance learning, my family experienced anxiety, depression, and stress. The Kenilworth staff provided so much academic and emotional support which helped my twins be successful with their first Jr. High experience. We are happy to be back in person for hybrid and are looking forward to 8th grade next year! Thank you, Kenilworth for supporting my children and our Petaluma community!
