We are new to this school, and so far we are very impressed with the principle, secretary, and the teacher. If there were more then five stars, I would give it. It highly recommended this school district to all who move to this area if at all possible. Close Quote

I was an international student at Kentucky State University in 2001-2002 and did my internship at this school.I had a very fulfulling experience there and would recommend it to any parent if the standard is as high as when Mr Castle was principal there.I only encountered mild subtle racism from 2 parents there .
