Horrible. They chose to ignore bullying and blamed my grandson for not staying near the teacher when kids would attack him

This is by far the worst experience i have ever had with a school. I wouldn't wish any child to attend this school, special needs or not.

My child attended this schoo1 for 6 months & I removed him ASAP b/c it was the WORST school ever. Most of staff did not care about the kids but wanted the paycheck. Bullying is a major problem and not properly addressed. Suspension the most used form of corrective action. School is infested with rats & roaches.

The curriculum is well below where it should be. I don't know if there are just too many troublesome kids or if the administrators are just impatient, but the discipline, when it does occur, is extreme and completely counterproductive. The entire faculty is overworked and overwhelmed which just creates a vicious circle, fostering further port behavior both academically and socially among the children. My husband and I love the area, but we are moving because of the school. Their heart is in the right place, but it just isn't working.

My daughter is currently in the 3rd grade, while my son just started kindergarten this year. This is a great school, with very caring teachers & staff. My daughter makes straight A's & although my son doesn't like school (which would be the case for him @ any school, as is his personality), he does very well here also. My husband & I both attended Kraft as children, as well, & it was a great school when we attended there also. I was in the SCA in 4th & 5th grade, as their reporter & vice president. My daughter can't wait to run for an SCA spot next year, after hearing about my experience!!!Kraft is more like a family than just a school.

Kraft is a family and an awesome place for my sons. The administration is always helpful and available and the teachers go above and beyond the call of duty. Kraft is wonderful as they do many things to connect my children to the community such as National Ride Your Bike to Schools Day, food drives and other volunteer opportunities. We have not moved because we don't want to leave our school

Christopher C. Kraft elementary school is a great school.. My son has learned so much, the staff along with the kids are all treated like one big family all the time.. Kraft has the Greatest teachers and awesome principal & asst. principal that treats all the kids like they are her own child, the office staff is great and very fast and caring not only to the kids but as a parent we get so much respect, very fast response if as a parent we have a question or concern about anything they will call or set a meeting up with you right then so when you walk out you have a date and time.. The school is in a great location, my kids have excelled at kraft and I love the school!
