I would never send my children to this school. They do not inform parents on anything going with the children. The teachers are bullies and totally disrespectful. Horrible school.

Kent elementary school is a wonderful school that any parent would be happy to have their child attend! Friendly staff, who honestly care about the intellectual and emotional well being of each student, ensures positive development.

its horrible for learning and bullying. They are suppose to have a no tolerance for bullying but the moment you say anything then your poor kid gets bullied by the staff! I totally wished we could pay for another school district because they compare themselves to the local ones around but they cant compare apples to oranges. I am very disgusted and disappointed As far as parent involvement it is only encouraged if you are class room mom otherwise its under lock and key from start of school until the end

We moved to the CCSD school district over the summer and our daughter started at KES in the fall. We really tried to adjust as best as we could, but ultimately found the school to be lacking. Maybe it can be blamed on the new core standards, but we found our daughter school work to be dull and confusing at times. There are too many students per class and our requests to get a better handle on the curriculum and daily schedule where met with resistance from both the teacher and principal. I was also told by an administrator in a neighboring district that CCSD did not attend any of the (albeit limited) Core Standards training sessions by the state. My daughters teacher told us that they were just handed the new curriculum a week before classes started and were told to 'just figure it out'. Unfortunately I worry about how well this district is preparing its students. We have since pulled our daughter out and are sending her to a private school. We are all much happier.

I can honestly say that Kent Elementary School has far surpassed my expectations. My son is in Mrs. Cutler s first grade class and he loves it. She is wonderful!! She is an excellent educator and great communicator. My son had difficulty with reading when he began first grade and they immediately provided reading lab for him on a daily basis for extra support. Mrs. Cutler will send notes home and even call my husband or me to periodically provide feedback and progress or address a concern. Also, Mrs. Weisel, the Principal has called both of us regarding concerns and even just to tell us how proud she is of our son s improvement in reading. It really amazes me that a Principal could be so proactive and involved with the students. She hosts several events for the Parents and is easy to speak to. I work full-time and my mind is completely at ease knowing that my son is at KES getting the greatest care and education in this area. He is surrounded by dedicated educators that are kind, patient, and very professional. They also take the safety of the children very seriously which was one of my concerns beginning the school year. There is no doubt this is an A++ school.

My son is in the first grade but I can say that I am very happy so far,he had a very good teacher in the Kindergarden(Mrs.Douglas)and very good teacher he has now (Mrs.Patterson)My son is still taking about teacher from last year.He can wait until it's Monday so he can see his teacher,she knows how to talk to them and most important is that she knows how to make them to listen to her.I know is still early to say that but teacher is the biggest impact on your kids.I hope this will not change in future.I have a very good feeling about this school.Very nice staff.
