This school is wonderful and they care about the students.

My experience at Kings River is a very memorable one with many people I will cherish for many years to come. The education program here is very developed and the teachers here are fantastic on what they do! My complaints about the school is that favoritism plays a HUGE role in the school. Also, some of the staff here are rude and will treat you like a burden and make you feel very unwelcomed. LEARNING : Like I stated earlier the school has a very good curriculum. But one thing I can confirm as an alumni is that they push REALLY hard out here. I was breaking down mentally because I felt overwhelmed with the amount of work I was given and I often left with homework to do.TEACHERS : The teachers here are very great! When I asked for help they always explained it thoroughly and even did a problem of two with me.SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL SUPPORT :There is a counselor that comes once a week, a full time psychologist, and a social worker and I'd say they really do help. I was in and out of the psychology rooms a lot in my middle school years and I always felt comfortable and welcomed in there but sometimes, I still felt stressed. But, most of the time I felt like they helped me.SPECIAL EDUCATION : I was never really in the special education classrooms but from what I observed from when I saw the teachers and their students out on campus, the teachers for the special education are pretty nice and work well with their students.SAFTEY: There is an officer out on campus and the kids there didn't really bother me so personally I always felt safe.FAMILY ENGAGEMENT : I'd say the school invites families as partners in their children's learning. There are yearly parent teach conferences, school events, and educational field trips.All in all, as an alumni, I would 10/10 recommend this school for their curriculum but for some of the other staff who treated my like I was interrupting something when I knew I wasn't (AND IT WAS PART OF THEIR JOB), 6/10.
