Suspended a student for self harming because "they were a safety risk to the other students".

I would give it a 4/5 stars. The pros are the teachers are very good at their jobs and can make you be prepared for College. However, since I was a CP2 student, I have difficulty getting started with College. The other pro is the events Silver lake has. They have rallys and many other cool events. The cons are, they don't effectively deal with the vaping issues in the bathrooms. The system doesn't detect vaping very well and if you tell a teacher about it, you can be called a snitch. The punishments aren't very good at all and doesn't teach the student a lesson. The student can just vape at home anyway though out the suspension. There needs to be a mandatory program for all students to prevent vaping and have a 3 strike you're out system. Also, the school isn't very diverse. It is mostly a white town anyway.

My review is specific to the Integrated Preschool. Both my children attended and were given services for speech, OT and PT. The team is amazing and have become a 2nd family to us. They guided us and helped us get a diagnoses for our daughter who has high functioning autism - which usually is hard to diagnose in girls. Both my children loved attending and had a great foundation heading into Kindergarten.

KIS is a disappointment. We moved from the city to KIS. The teaching methods are lacking and not up to current standards. It appears that students are only introduced to topics and not properly taught to proficiency. There are no projects assigned for my children to do at home. My children are not flourishing, rather wilting in an environment that does not inspire student learning.
