Kendrick Lakes Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2009-02-19 “The new prinicipal is a wonderful, caring woman who is very concerned about the children and their well being. My daughter has attended KLES for 3 years and she is doing very well. I must agree that the building is lacking for example no handicapped access particularly since the school has adopted a locked door policy where the front door is the only one open during school hours, the building could use a great remodel but as taxpayers did not pass the budget there will be no remodel anytime soon. Most of the teachers are great. It is fabulous that we currently have full time specials teachers as the gym teacher also helps teach math in all classes. We have only had a problem with one teacher failing to communicate with us.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2009-01-24 “My child is very happy at KLES. She started in the 3rd grade and we, as a family, we have been received very warmly by the teachers, staff and the PTA. I like that KLES offers everything from Special Education to a Gifted and Talented program and is fortunate enough to have full-time specials teachers! The PTA works hard to support the school as well as the teachers and students. KLES also has many students who have been 'choice' enrolled. Which means this is not their home school, but parents have chosen to enroll their children in this school because of its excellent reputation!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2008-05-28 “My Child is always talking about how much fun the different styles of learning at this school is. They are always thinking of new ways to reach these kids. There are plenty of field trips and wonderful teachers. I feel that my child IS getting the positive attention that is so important to a good education.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-12-17 “It's a fine school, trapped in a terrible facility. With virtually no windows. Food service is shameful, and handicap access is poor. So why do we remain? My child's GT class is a model learning environment, with 18 students working with a witty, devoted teacher. My child is happy and successful, so we'll put up with the rest.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2007-11-15 “No communication from teacher to parent. Too much emphasis given to GT students. A couple of outstanding teachers at the 4th grade level. Music teacher is also outstanding. My child goes here because it's within walking distance.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2007-04-25 “Please keep looking. The Principal here does not care too much for a parent's concern. She will take the word of the teacher before the parent. I don't really see much in the way of extracurricular activities. The best part of the whole school is the music teacher and honestly, that's quite sad to say seeing how the other classes are more important to a child's education. This school lacks terribly.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2007-03-13 “I've been quite disappointed with KLES. The teacher communication is practically non-existent. I didn't find out until I received my daughter's report card that she was doing so poorly. The teacher promised assistance, yet in less than a week she failed to uphold her word. Her 4th grade teacher was more concerned with text messaging and answering her cell phone during class than giving that attention to the kids that needed the extra help. I will be removing my daughter from this school next year. I should have removed her last year, but didn't want to make my decision on one bad apple. 'No Child Left Behind' does not apply to this school. If your child is perfect, they'll do well.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2006-01-28 “the school has suffered the pst 6 years. 5 principals, lack of follow through on ALP's, large classes. Hopefully, if this principal stays - things will settle down. PTA is not well attended, although there are lots of involved parents in the classrooms. Excellent music teacher, new and vibrant PE teacher, good art program. DI was strong - in fact, global, but interest dropped. GT program small.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-10-10 “This is a great elementary school with a wide variety of programs including gifted and talented and developmentally disabled. We like the 'specials', music, gym, art, and the PTA sponsors some after school classes too and activities like a science fair, talent show and student/family dances. We are particularly happy with the GT program. The classes are small and the teachers are professional and caring. Our daughter has thrived there.”
