What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, February 17, 2012

In our experience the administration of Kingsland is subpar, poor communication with parents, unequal enforcement of rules, steps of discipline are more of a suggestion-can go from step 1 to 8 without explanation. Administration makes a decision and no matter what they do not admit error in judgement,will not consider further facts, etc. We had an incident where a teacher was humiliating our son to the point other kids came forward about it and when we contacted the principle, we were told to put our concerns in writing and when he had a chance he would look at it. Another instance where a teacher grabbed our other son by the ear and literally drug him out of a classroom (for not wearing his glasses that she found when she went through his locker), again the principle was not willing to discipline the teacher. Many times parents are afraid to disagree with administration for fear of retaliation against the student and those of us who have, feel that our children are singled out and disciplined harsher than other students who break the same rule. I strongly discourage families from enrolling your child at Kingsland unless you are willing to actively and constantly advocate for your child knowing that you will not have any support from administration.
