Kellond Elementary is great school! We feel so lucky that our neighborhood school is Kellond.

PLEASE READ! I have recently gotten guardianship over two students who were going to this school. My oldest was failing the majority of her classes and my youngest never had any grades in the system. The same week I got guardianship I emailed every teacher they had to schedule a meeting to see what could be done so that they will be successful. I didn’t hear back from ANY of their teachers. I emailed the VP and he had some councilor call me to schedule apts with these teachers. He scheduled three different meetings and NONE of the teachers showed up and he gave up. Thankfully, my oldest was able to get her grades mostly up. It is now two weeks after school and my youngest STILL DOESNT HAVE GRADES IN THE SYSTEM!!! I have tried calling, I have emailed both the principal and VP! This school has been absolutely AWFUL and I would advise you to never have your kids go here. Thankfully my kids get to go to a great school in the MUSD district next year. My youngest came home and told us about a teacher throwing a desk and injuring 6 students and the from office lady told me I was lying! Why would my kid lie to me about something like that??? THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE! AVOID AT ALL COSTS IF YOU KNOW WHATS GOOD FOR YOUR KIDS!!!

Sadly, this school put my child with special needs in danger and then completely abandoned her. This was our home district and we were happy to get my children into what we thought was a kind and inclusive school community. The problem at Miles wasn't the teachers, they are caring and creative, the problem is poor resources and ineffective and inflexible administration. The district will try to get out of paying anything they can for students with special needs. I had a letter documenting my child's need for an aide from her developmental pediatrician and they had the data from the school showing she clearly needed 1:1 support but they still would not provide it due to the cost. When my 5 year old got away from her teacher who was in charge of a whole kindergarten class and ran into a busy street they finally recognized that she needed some aide support. That was several months into the year when she had already been endangered by their reckless policies. Then when school went to online only in March 2020 and my 6 year old child with special needs could not learn that way, admin just gave up and refused to educate her. They would not bring her in for tutoring or any services, nothing, even though her special ed teacher recognized that she could not learn online and wanted to teach her in person and felt she could do it safely, admin refused and completely abandoned her. The school has remained shuttered for an entire year now, 12 months, to students who desperately needed in person education, what a travesty, I feel terribly for any students stuck in TUSD who needed in person education and have list out on so much. I am so incredibly thankful we got our kids into CFSD, they are doing an excellent job educating all children safely even during a challenging year and are a much more welcoming and inclusive community!

I love this school, the teachers want students to succeed and go the extra mile to help students learn and grow.

This school sets you up well for the future with a great counseling department and effective teachers. Yes, there is a hefty workload, but this is communicated to incoming students before they enroll. It has a good environment and a helpful staff. If a student can stick with it and get through their freshman year, I can guarantee they will be successful through their high-school career and beyond.

This program helps students who cannot attend classes for a variety of reasons. This helps students attain their education despite difficult circumstances.
