The school is truly a lost case. The administration just rants big time, but nothing is done. The principal makes an insane impression, teachers are as oppressed as students. My daughter had to leave as some teachers openly told me they couldn't do much for an able child under those conditions.

My child was constantly bullied in this school. I'm so happy he's not there now. He was hit in the face with a book in a classroom and nothing was done. No suspension or anything. My son is autistic and the school allowed him to be tormented. This is the worst school in Memphis. The assistant principal is a heartless so called lady who's just there for the paycheck. Please don't send your child here. This school needs to be closed down ASAP.

This school has some good aspects such as being able to provide students with dual enrollment classes and AP Classes but the way I see it, the school is definitely getting worse. There are teachers who truly care about the students but the principal seems to find ways to make their hard work go unnoticed and instead pressures them and makes it seem as if they are in the wrong, causing the good teachers to leave. On the other hand, there are teachers who barely do anything and still get plenty of praise for it. The principal also tries to make it seem like students are doing better academically but that is surely not true. Some do deserve the grades they get because they work hard for them but others rarely go to school or do any work and they still receive the same grades.The teachers are also told that they can not fail students which just contributes into making it seem as if the students are doing better academically. Students also get suspended for the dumbest reasons and for a long time while others who do worse things get suspended for little or no time and are back at getting away with what they want. I see little hope for most of the students there if things do not change.

The workers in the front office are HORRIBLE. If a parent comes in, they will make you wait while ignoring you until they finish gossiping. Very unprofessional employees with the worst attitudes . They will suspend students for any reason and I 'm actually surprised they are still open. Gang territory . They will pass a child that never goes to school. Worst school ever ...

Kingbury High School administrative staff needs to be replaced with people who actually care about the students. Sending a child home because the staff didn't put the child in the system don't make any sense whats so ever.
