Kagel Elementary

Hi! I’d like to welcome any parents of Allen Field to email me at thrivemke@gmail.com if you would like to improve the success of the school. Please know that I’m working with school teachers and board members and we have some expectations for our admins that we would like to see fulfilled. We need an active PTO and we need to make sure that everyone feels comfortable to decide whatever they want for their future as long as they are free to learn.

Even though we don't live in the MPS school district, we are one of many parents who commute to Forest Home daily to ensure that our children get an above-standard bilingual education. It is very unfortunate that the state does not include bilingual classrooms scores in all areas and all grades as this does not allow for a full picture of what the school is achieving and has to offer. The bilingual teachers are spectacular. They are engaging with the students and the families. They are tuned into the needs of each individual child and tailor their styles to ensure that each child succeeds. They are communicative with the parents which allows for teamwork in getting the results we all want - student success in all areas... academics, social, etc.

My kids were transferred to this school at the beginning of the year.The principal and the rest of the staff made sure that my kids were welcomed and adjusted well due to their sudden transfer. The teachers at Longfellow gives me that old school feeling like when I was going to school. From the principals down to the teacher's aide they want the best for our children and their families. The great level of understanding and gratitude is genuinely sincere.

My son said it was good but there was a lot of people getting bullied

No recomiendo esta escuela para nada! Primero, no hay buena comunicación. Varias veces mis preguntas quedaron sin respuesta. Segundo, no actuan con eficiencia para identificar y lidiar con el bullying. Y tercero, el nivel educativo es muy bajo. La experiencia que tuvo mi hija en esta escuela fue muy desagradable. Me llego con moretones cuatro veces y solo una vez me avisaron. Cuando pregunte de las otras ocasiones no me supieron dar una respuesta. Vi a mi hija pasar de ser una niña alegre a una niña triste que ya no quería ir a la escuela. Veo la gran diferencia ahora que está en otra escuela. El aprendizaje es más avanzado y la maestra me contesta todas mis preguntas.

At St Martini the staff and teachers are the best they care about the kids in all aspect and the best thing of all MY KIDS LOVE THE SCHOOL YEAH TO ST MARTINI

My daughter just started school this year and I cannot rave enough about the teachers and staff that are incredibly supportive and caring for their students. This care is shown not in just how my child has grown academically and emotionally, but especially how she has grown spiritually. God's Word is part of every school day! Whether in chapel, during devotions, or when they get to sing in church, the good news about Jesus her Savior is in her heart and on her lips! She is developing an attitude and perspective that she wouldn't get anywhere else outside of this multicultural setting. I wouldn't send her anywhere else!
