Leinkauf Elementary School

The teachers at this school are truly exceptional. Many of them go above and beyond to support their students, and it’s clear they care deeply about helping every child grow, learn, and succeed. Their dedication is the strongest and most valuable part of this school community.However, the administration, particularly the principal, is a serious concern. From my experience, she has created an environment that feels unwelcoming and dismissive, especially toward families who don’t fit a certain social or professional status. Unless you are part of a small group of parents with specific titles or influence, you’re unlikely to receive the same respect or attention.Even more troubling is her clear lack of care or support for African American boys at the school. It is disheartening and painful to witness how little effort is made to uplift or invest in these students. There seems to be no concern for whether they succeed, feel connected to school, or are given the same opportunities as others. This kind of leadership sends a harmful message that no child should ever have to internalize.To prospective parents, the teachers are the reason to consider this school. They are passionate, dedicated, and doing incredible work in the classroom. But it’s important to know that the current leadership does not reflect the same values of equity, inclusion, or genuine student support.

I am writing on behalf of my sons both whom attended craiglhead while my sons attend craighead their teachers were very nice courteous and caring I was always kept informed on my sons progress and I loved the open door policy at craighead which allow you to impromptu visits anytime and even theses visit u were treated like family not as a guess.

The teachers and staff provide a warm, loving atmosphere for learning in a Christ- centered school.

If I could rate Kingdom Academy zero stars, I absolutely would.Kingdom Academy claims to be a safe space for students to speak up, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. When parents report serious concerns that put students at risk, the school’s response is to punish the child who came forward instead of addressing the actual problem.Students who bravely report wrongdoing are met with harsh, unfair discipline, with no consideration for how much courage it took to speak up. Favoritism runs rampant, and discipline is anything but fair or consistent.If you want your child to feel safe, heard, and treated with respect, this is not the place for them.
