Kenton Elementary School

I can't find anything negative to say about White's Tower; my daughter loves going to school everyday. When my daughter (and other students) was deemed an advantaged student, the guidance counselor and her teacher met with me to have a conversation about skipping a grade or accelerating her education with the next year's coursework. My daughter and many other students were on the new cusp of Kindergarten cutoffs. This school hired a teacher with a Master's in Gifted Education to accommodate them! I didn't think I would be worrying about college so soon but my daughter wants to be a Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon now! There's a reason White's Tower Elementary is the highest rated elementary school in the district (and third in all Northern Kentucky counties). It's also pretty cool that Mr. P. cares so much about his students, his faculty and the families involved.

Awesome teachers and very friendly staff. We are so happy that we have made decision to send our daughter to this school

I would love to give SVA a great review. My kids have had very different experiences in the building. Child A has adhd & is a gifted student. Although they are in advanced classes they're bored often due to lack of engagement from teachers and get in trouble almost daily. They've been made to feel like the target of teachers' negativity year after year. I know my child isn't perfect, but being in trouble every single day when you're really trying your hardest is no way to go through life. They have zero focus on social emotional learning here & if your child doesn't have a 504 plan or an iep they will be overlooked... it seems at this school you have to get one for your child to get any help in any way. The teachers don't do anything with threats against other kids & the administration is even worse. I can't wait until Child A is out of this school. Child B is younger & loves SVA. They are getting great grades & have lots of friends. They've had some trouble, but mostly on the bus with bigger kids. I'm guessing Child B's experience is also different because they're in a lower grade level. I'm not looking forward to Child B reaching middle school here at all.
