  this school dress coded me even though other people were wearing the same thing or even thinner clothes. teachers don't respect me or any other people that aren't part of or supporting the LGBTQ community and I have been discriminated against so many times. I don't recommend this school at all I would recommend home school or something where your child might actually learn. thank you for your time.

  As others have stated, KPMS is not the best school. PSD Superintendent blames the bullying issue on the fact that most students come from low income families. I have worked with the low income population and I can confirm that they are some of the most honest and hard working people in our society. Falling in the poverty level doesn’t mean your children are bullies. Children do lead by example and so far I have counted 3 great teachers among a plethora of unethical teachers. I can see that the issues at this school start at the top and these kids deserve better leadership. I am genuinely concerned for my child’s safety and emotional wellbeing everyday they attend this school.

  not a great school it has some of the best teachers ever but the office workers suck constant criminalization of students all ways vice principal is way too eager to punish students it is depressing and none of the office workers or the administrators are the type of people to change that hopeful the remodel should help.

  KPMS is not a good school. They don’t handle bullying well or they just ignore it and a large quantity of teachers are violent and/or display inappropriate behavior while working. Don’t go there.

  I will tell you--- just because a school is "poorer" doesn't mean that kids aren't getting a top notch education. I would choose KPMS over any other middle school in the district and that's a fact. Are they perfect? No-- there is always room for improvement. But I know that when kids go there, teachers will really care and will work hard to help the kids learn, not just with reading and math but with other things that matter like dealing with conflict and such.

  Teachers are fantastic but the administration needs to get a clue. Kids are made to sit down at all times during lunch breaks and are constantly criminalized. Bullying has become a huge problem. There is no getting away from the rural atmosphere but the school needs serious remodeling and the school district levies continue to fail. Great programs exist for above average students (NASA). Sports programs fail horribly in comparison with Gig Harbor schools. Bottom line, if your child needs guidance and support, be prepared to give it yourself. It won't be coming from the school.

  I am very pleased with this school. My daughter has attended during 6th and 7th grades. I have found the administration to be helpful, welcoming, friendly and committed. The teachers are long-term, educated, and seem sincere in their efforts to instruct in the most up-to-date manner; with regard for varied learning styles among students. We moved here from another school district after her 5th grade year and the differences were impossible to ignore. Her grades and social life are far improved. My only criticism is that the communication system, with regard to attendance, among the office staff could stand improvement. Everything else is fantastic.

  My daughter has gone to this school for 2 years now. She enjoys the robotics and photography classes. Staff and principal are very hand-on and approachable. I would not hesitate to send another child here.
