This school has been amazing; it does not get the credit it deserves. It is newly built about a few years ago and it's a very clean school, very safe entry into schools like its two access points to get into, some might not like that, but I prefer knowing it's hard to get into the school for someone
Posted by a parent on 12/6/2025What an amazing school with awesome educators! They love our children and support families in the time of need. Great administrative support!!! Go Team JES!!!
Posted by a parent on 3/26/2023I wanted to rate the district. As a military family we have had our children at many schools. This is one of the worst districts and schools my children have attended. First off you can’t even go in the school. It’s a buzzer like a jail to talk to someone. Then you can go into the entry, again to sp
Posted by a parent on 8/30/2021This school some of the laziest teachers In the state! SC should be ashamed! They don't teach, they treat kids like common criminals and I honestly think some of them chose to teach just have somewhere to go everyday! What happened to caring teacher, leadership, and role models. My daughter is in 5t
Posted by a parent on 1/12/2017This school is an absolute disappointment! They seem to care more about teaching kids how to "Cupid Shuffle" and "Gangnam Style" more than anything! The children do not go outside for recess. We get called every evening about some silly scheme to get money out of us. EVERY test that gets sent home,

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy 2 children have both attended CES since K4 with no issues. We have always been strong supporters & volunteers. That has since ended with the hiring of the new Principal, Mrs. Pryzbyla, we have seen a downward, negative shift in the school environment to the point we & a few other families have removed our children from the school. Mrs. Pryzbyla does NOT care to get to know the children or the parents, & when parents bring concerns to her multiple times (by appt) she does NOTHING to address them. We asked to have our son switched to another classroom & was told she REFUSED to switch ANY student NO MATTER WHAT the situation was. We also went to the KCSC Office looking for help & spoke with Mr. Hopkins who tried to resolve the problem but for a PRINCIPAL to tell a DISTRICT DIRECTOR she won't do something- should be classified as insubordination. But it was never even blinked at. I am writing this because I want other parents to know how we were treated. How CES & KCSD did nothing to help. Change needs to happen at that school & it needs to start with hiring a new Principal.Parent Review8y ago - Emmanuel Baptist Christian Learning CR
