Even the teacher would bully your child

Posted by a community member on 4/21/2026Kino is a great school. The staff are visible and friendly and there is less fighting then at neighboring Junior Highs. Teachers will go above and beyond to help any students who WANTS to succeed. Every interaction I have had with teachers and staff has been professional and willing to work with me

Posted by a teacher on 4/16/2026This is the worst school ! If you value your children education please look some where else . Not only the kids that go here are wild but the teacher also ! ! They always have substitute teachers .They do not value there students what so ever. Just because there a lot of minorities go here doesn’t m

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school ruined me the teachers were okay but the students were the problem. and the staff did NOTHING about it one kid pretended to be hitler and drew a mustache on himself and did the NAZI salute. teacher didn't even notice?? and when I reported it the counselor gave him a "talk". when the student came back he laughed it off and did it AGAIN little to ZERO consequences for literally impersonating hitler. A student i know was bullied by their peers for being transgender kids would ask them "do you need to wear a pad???" loud and rudely to them and laughed it off NO consequences!! the only good thing about this school is that the counselor's kind of make you feel better. this school made depression easy to develop and has destroyed many kids mental health. if tou're kid has behavioral issues dont send them too easy to get away with literal nazi,racism and transphobia in this school.Other Review8mo ago - MacArthur Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOn a positive note, this school is very good with education, and special need services. HOWEVER THEY LACK IN PROTOCOL AND IN SAFETY - Another child threatened my child stating they would bring a gun to school today to shoot and kill my child. The school took this very lightly , left me a voicemail stating they needed to speak with me in regards to a "mean comment" made to my child during lunch and that it was not urgent. I called back only to find that it was in fact urgent. Upon my arrival the other parents refused to speak to me, & I did not receive much concern from the principle, the school staff or the teacher. Ultimately, there were no consequences for the child. In addition to this , a couple months ago some older boys shut my daughters face in the cafeteria door , gave her a black eye and busted her nose. The principle said my daughter lied and there were no consequences for those boys either. It is very clear that the safety of our children does not apply at this school .Parent Review1y ago - Whitman Elementary School

The staff is all very kind and welcoming. They do an outstanding job at educating at the highest standards. One of the best decision we have had for our children and their future.Parent Review2y ago - Evit - Kino Junior High School
