Kings Park

I was a student here for 11 years. Most of my life (I'm now 20). I was bullied by virtually my entire grade and teachers and despite letting admin know, nothing was done. When my parents alerted the school of an event that occured at home relating to expirences at school, they were told I (13 year-old) was lying. I will try to focus on the "important" things in this review. This school prides itself on academics, yet is years behind public School. I had straight A's my entire life, when I moved to public school in 9th grade my grades dropped to loses and even a couple f's. I also did not learn much about how a Christian should live, as I was being taught how to be kind from the least kind people I knew at the time. Also, neat little sidebar, we got taught how to deny climate change in 7th grade and why scientists are after Christianity. Regardless of your personal beliefs, I don't think kids should be taught apologetics when they are literally just starting puberty. Also, your kid will not learn great social skills. I have an extremely hard time communicating with other adults. I think that is in large part due to the fact I did not have to make new friends from first grade onwards because I already knew everyone in my grade. You may be reading this thinking "well I wouldn't WANT my kid to communicate with non-believers" but I even have a hard time socializing with other Christians. Think of it like how in extremely remote places the people there often have a specific dialect that is virtually unintelligible from anyone outside the community. In my experience southcrest creates a very similar affect. If I had to pick one thing from the school that I think is proficient, I would say they're reading and writing program is pretty good. Other than that I have no kind words for this school.
