As an alumni I was not properly prepared for college and when speaking to my college peers, realized how behind our education at Kiski was. (At Kiski I was a top student for reference.) Fast forward to today, Kiski has eliminated the gifted program as well as programs for those who need extra learning help. Kids who are advanced, especially, receive no accommodation outside of additional work that is too easy for them, which feels like a punishment. Their music and sports programs are strong but academically they are not meeting the needs of students outside the average. Their biggest concern is teaching to test scores. They also have recently “gone woke” with policy and many area parents are pulling kids. While not an educational concern, it is a cultural concern for many, so I mentioned it. It’s definitely not what it used to be and given the choice I would pick another area school.

Excellent teachers, great reading program, challending programs, district isn't as diverse as I would love to see but overall quite pleased with the district. However, some of handbook is outdated such as medication policy. A school nurse isn't a full time position at all the elementary schools.

KAIS is a place with a great learning environment with the absolute best staff.
