Really awful place for neurodivergent children. They avoided giving my child an IEP for two years, and then were surprised when bad behaviors (which we had warned them about extensively and were due to disorders and trauma) were displayed. Instead of offering support, they gave detention and screamed at my child, as if that would help. Really awful experience. They are not suited to help children who need extra attention or care. Parents beware.

The teacher's are all wonderful and truly care about each student. Some of our favorite teachers are Miss. Johnson, Ms. Henry and Mrs. Radar. The front staff is always wonderful and kind. Keep doing a wonderful job!

Karns is great!! I have two children who attend Karns and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this school. It has an administration that listens to parents and seems to really work at making it a great school. The teachers are dedicated and energetic. I have driven by many times after hours and seen many of them still there working!! Families....Wow! Parents are involved and interested in making the school great. Hope you will get the chance to experience Karns first hand.
