The principal, teachers, and staff at Kinard Elementary are exceptional! My two younger children have attended since Pre-K and are now in 1st and 3rd grades. They both had speech problems and were in the speech program at Kinard which is excellent! My son has been in the Kinard reading groups since Kindergarten and it has vastly improved his skills. Kinard highly encourages parent involvement and has many areas available for parents to get involved in school activities. The principal, Mrs. Weathers, has blown me away with her sincere, positive, "get involved" attitude. I don't know how she does it, but she seems to know each student by name and greets and talks to every person she sees with a big smile and a warm welcoming manner. Not only are my children doing well with their learning at Kinard Elementary, but they are anxious to go to school and they enjoy their time there. As a parent, I enjoy my time there as well, it's always a pleasure. I can't say enough positive things about Kinard! This elementary school rocks! Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
