A wonderful school with caring teachers. My son was never late for the bus, and he likes sleeping in. He woke up every day eager to see his friends, to be with his teachers, and enjoy the school environment established by the administration and maintained by the teachers. A lower-than-excellent ranking for this school is absurd.(Please note my experience with KMES concerns the years 2016 through 2021.)

Just wanted to communicate to the staff, teachers and students what a fantastic morning I had at your school today. The support that you provided to "thank" veterans on Veterans Day was indeed special. The entire program just made my day and the "Veterans Parade" (passing by a half mile if students thanking us for our service) will always be remembered. Of special note was my observation that many educators had tears in their eyes as we passed in the parade. I am sure that my granddajughters Isla and Harper will long remember today as a special day for all of us.My thanks to all that served and all those that support us now.Craig S

If you're looking for a school that cares about test scores, this one's for you. High achievers really excel. However, if you have a child that is on the Autism spectrum or has special needs, don't expect anything. We had nothing but empty promises from the administration about how they were going to provide counseling and special needs support. Our child saw a specialist 1 time the entire school year. It took his teacher to recommend we seek outside assistance until we found some answers. Once we did, we knew Kelly Mill wasn't the school that could provide any support going forward. This isn't an isolated incident and other parents of special needs children have moved to other schools for these reasons. For additional reference, we did have positive experiences with our other 3 high achieving children but once you don't fit that mold, there is no path for success.

Both my boys went through this school. The principal is doing an amazing job. I cannot imagine there could be a better run elementary. I think this school is top notch for a public school

My son has attended Kelly Mill since opening day. I have watched the staff grow and improve each year, as well as the after school clubs and programs. The staff is very dedicated and love what they do. My child absolutely loves going to school each day, and for that I am grateful and very appreciative! Watching Kelly Mill grow and suceed has been nothing less than a pleasure! a pleased Parent

Kelly Mill is an excellent school. The teachers are super friendly, very approachable and incredibly dedicated. As a parent of two children in different grades, I could not be happier with the school.

This is a great school with a dedicated staff. They are able to foster parent and child learning and the STEM areas are outstanding.
