Graduated in 2020. Pretty bad school. Rats and roaches literally all over the place. Teachers would barely meet criteria for the year. Administration was absolutely horrible and genuinely has no care in the world for their students. Counselors have absolutely no idea how to handle or support students with mental health issues that are very common to arise in high school. Just overall horrible.

Since my child started at KGES this fall, i have been so impressed with the Staff and the Administration! From drop off to pick up and all the hours in between, I feel like my Kindergartener is treated with respect, kindness, and is receiving a wonderful education. I recieve weekly communication and updates from his classroom teacher as well as the Principal. It's clear that safety is made a priority at KGES and as a parent, that is extremely important to me. The PTA is very hands on in making a memorable experience for our kids as well. Very happy parent!

This school was a hot mess. The teachers either don't show up half the time or barely teach. Half the time it felt like the teachers just gave us reading material then sat there doing nothing. They barely cared about our emotions and opinions and would put stupid restrictions like only having 3 bathroom trips per-day. The bathrooms, of course, were disgusting and rarely nothing came of it. The teachers are so out of touch and have unrealistic expectations of doing dozens of assignments per week. COVID was the worst of it with teachers quitting giving us "Permanent Subs" who barely knew how the grading app worked which led to many of my completed assignments being labeled as missing. Being sick was basically a sin there, with teachers blaming the kids when they missed school sick. Plus the amount of fights at this school was crazy. Teachers would always threaten referrals or suspension yet do nothing with these threats. It feels like the administration lost grip on the students and just let them go wild. There were some good teachers, but most of them obviously didn't care and just did the job for the money. It felt as if the teachers rushed their job just to get home faster. The only good part was in 8th grade when we went on a field trip to Dave & Busters, but that was a fraction of that 3 year escapade. This is definitely a time of my life I WONT miss.
