Chamberlain Elementary School

Our experience at KCE has been wonderful knowing my child is safe, cared for and learning from excellent staff. The teachers truly care about the students and take the time to understand each child’s unique needs. My child has grown so much academically. We feel grateful to be part of such a supportive and fun community.

My son has disabilities and he gets wrote up all the time and take away his field trips because they didn't want to have to deal with him. But the kids who are related to people at the school and/or are favored don't get anything said to them they don't get wrote up or anything. It's not right and my heart is broken because of the way my child struggles with problems that he tries his best to control but sometimes can't. Its not right.

Best experience at a school yet! The teachers are amazing and work individually with your child to make sure they work to their potential

MMS can be compared to a double-edged sword. It's good but not ENTIRELY good. Science class was FIRE. Emily Beal is an amazing science teacher who actually feeds into a student's curiosity instead of beating it out like most middle schools. There were ups and downs, lows and highs, but I survived. The field trips were either a hit or a miss, half miss half hit. Although one thing I disliked was taking notes. Not the act of it, just the way we were forced to use Cornell notes instead of our own methods, which led me to struggle to comprehend my notes because Cornell style wasn't the type that clicked with me. Evan (if that's the right way to spell it) is an MVP P.E. teacher. Peak P.E. teacher tbh. Instead of just baseless exercises we did actual sports like tennis, volleyball, kickball, basketball, flag football, and paddleboarding. Maria has to be an S-tier Spanish teacher, thank God for her patience. One thing I didn't quite like was that we would often have group punishments in school. If one person in a group did something bad, the ship sank with them. It was very unfair and discouraging. The boy's bathroom needs a SERIOUS renovation, it looks medieval. Secret Santa, or Secret Snowflake as they wanted us to call it was pretty fun, especially when everyone brought their own food for everyone to enjoy. The school is definitely not for everyone, but it is worth checking out!

Overall I would say that our experience with St. Agnes has been wonderful! The teacher really do care about the children and their academic growth and success. The overall goal with in each classroom clearly is to develop the whole child!
