Kings Grant Day School

The staff at KGES is incredible. They are very focused on their students. They are very proactive and accommodating.

My two boys thrived in this exceptional learning environment provided by this outstanding school! Their educational journey was nothing short of amazing, filled with enriching experiences that have undoubtedly contributed to their growth and development. I wholeheartedly recommend this school to any parent seeking an unparalleled educational experience for their children. The dedication of the staff, the innovative teaching methods, and the nurturing atmosphere truly make it a gem in the realm of education.

This school is not a good option for special education. Communication is terrible. There is a lack of support regarding students needs. I am having problems with this school that I have never had anywhere else nor in my childs entire life. It is extremely frustrating and disappointing.

Great school . Staff is wonderful and supported , I love that they offer the gifted program for the kids .

As a parent, I expected a school that would recognize both my child's strengths and areas of growth. Instead, we found a culture that seemed far more focused on labels than solutions. Despite excelling academically and reading at a level well above grade expectations, our child was repeatedly viewed through the lens of behavioral challenges.Positive communication from teachers was rare. We frequently heard about concerns but seldom about achievements, progress, or the many things our child was doing well. At the same time, serious issues, including bullying on the playground and the school bus, did not appear to receive the attention or follow-up we expected.After exhausting our options, we ultimately moved to a different area so our child would not have to continue attending this school. No family should feel that relocating is their best solution, but that is where our experience led us. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this school based on our experience.

This review is for families starting mid-elementary school and does not pertain to the music teacher, who is brilliant.Anyone with a high-achieving child who is not starting in kindergarten, I urge you to look anywhere else in the Great Neck, Kings Grant, or Shore Drive area. These teachers and administration do not advocate for these children. Classes are overcrowded, and gifted programs are administered disproportionately and not aligned with test scores.The principal constantly tells us his hands are tied, and their choices have had regrettable consequences for our daughter’s education. Our daughter received higher scores to get into ODS than children they allowed in from the supposedly more gifted classes. They do not communicate at all and don’t seem to have the time or energy to work with parents. Unless there is a change in the administration, I would avoided all costs.

Phenomenal school built around community and an excited approach to learning.
