Teachers are wonderful, but the administration is corrupt and treat the teachers awful. Close Quote

Kingsbury has become a haven for children with significant behavioral problems. Disruptive students are left in the classroom rather than sent to the office, because the office does not hand out discipline or contact parents. Unfortunately the remaining 20 students in the classrooms are suffering academically and all students and parents are learning that poor behavior is tolerated. Close Quote

Lower elementary program is wonderful and age-appropriate, but the rest of the program is educationally inadequate. Please do your research into the school curriculum, leadership background and test performance in NWEA and MSTEP. Current administration is not led by an experience K-8 educator. Tests are not everything, but they are an indicator of a lacking program compared to other districts and charters in our area. Current middle school students are not prepared academically or socially for high school. Close Quote

We were so excited when our child started at KCDS and loved it until the new administration took over.

The standards for the school quickly dropped and became more about fun than actual learning. Learning was replaced by frequent parties and all-day PJ movie days.

The whole place feels chaotic and poorly run. This lack of organization is present in all aspects of the school. Emails or newsletters from the school are followed up by multiple correction emails. Teachers are frequently absent, and they use parents as subs. We received late notification on days there would be no school bus.

The biggest issue, however, is the bullying that takes place from the top down. When I expressed concerns to the administration about my child being bullied, my concerns were quickly dismissed, and the blame was placed on him. Then at a school board meeting, I was interrupted by other parents and cut off from speaking.

If you have no concern with education or educational standards and you want your child to go to a school where every day is a party, then this is the right school for your family. Close Quote

The Middle School has been a very disappointing experience. Classroom management is nonexistent in some rooms, which leads to a disruptive environment for students trying to learn. 2 MS teachers bully students and very little support is given to students that are struggling. Class sizes are small (20-21 maximum), so it is difficult to understand why all students are not receiving support.

Leadership dropped the IB curriculum, which was outstanding. They have now implemented their own "Kingsbury Curriculum" which does not seem to be meeting basic standards. There is legitimate concern among MS parents that their students will not be prepared for High School. Close Quote

The leadership has changed tremendously over the past year and the community has shifted to follow. There is zero tolerance of diversity and different views but plenty tolerance for bullying and poor student behavior. More emphasis is placed on fun outdoors than actual instructional time. Very little extra support for students. When asked to why we weren't contacted re: failing grades, the 6th grade math teacher responded "I have 40 kids. I don't have time to be emailing parents." If they can't find the time to contact parents with concerns, it is safe to say they are also unable to find the time to adequately support struggling students. Test scores have dropped significantly compared to local districts and similar charters, even though school was in-person during Covid. Many teachers are doing the best they can, but there is very poor leadership. Ultimately, the students are the ones suffering. Close Quote
