Shame on you karns middle school for not following through with the dress code equally to all GENDERS!!! If it is not ok for boys to wear pajama pants then it eaually is not ok for all the girls to run around in booty shorts! ALL DRESS CODE SHOULD BE EQUAL! If you are going to say something to a boy for pjs you need to bring that same energy for the girls exposing parts of their privates (cause none of those shorts are mid thigh if you can see butt cheeks hanging out) to mutiple teachers and staff members and other children all day long! Karns middle school will catch pjs coming through the door immediately first thing coming in during the morning but let girls walk around them all day long around mutiple adults for example: 7 different teachers daily, office staff, janitors, cafeteria workers, resource officers. And still they have the nerve to say those shorts somehow miraculously go unnoticeable all day long? SHAME ON YOU SEXIST KARNS MIDDLE SCHOOL!!!!

For 6 years, we had students at KMS. They thrived.

Very poor and can't wait to leave the school. So happy that my child is leaving and we can both leave this experience behind!

Teachers take too long to get back to you, regarding e-mails. Teachers try to embarrass the students. The Assistant Principal doesn't return e-mails. When you do get any information from them they don't give you all the details.

Highly dislike this school. The teachers and asst principal will stand behind the bullies and treat the one being bullied as the bad person in the situation. The teachers have their "favorites" and treat the others awful. I would never suggest this school to anyone. If you are moving here, AVOID this school!!!
