This school has several significant issues that need to be addressed. The administration appears to prioritize personal interests over the well-being of the students. Despite having facilities such as a gym, an art room, and a music room, these resources remain largely unused, which is a waste of potential for student development.Moreover, the high turnover rate among teachers, with many leaving before completing even two years, is concerning and suggests a problematic working environment. Having been at this school for seven years, I feel that my investment, both in terms of time and money, has not been justified. The excessive amount of time spent in the classroom, without adequate physical activity, also raises health concerns, such as the risk of developing blood clots.Overall, I cannot recommend this school based on my experiences.

Our son has attended Killian Oaks Academy for 5 years. When he started at KOA, he had struggled to learn to read. He is now reading at an advanced level. His confidence has soared. KOA's commitment to individualized learning and mastery of skill sets is truly commendable. The staff and administration goes beyond academics. They genuinely care for students, creating a second family atmosphere. Communication is seamless; they promptly address any concerns and keep us informed about our son's academic process. Our child loves the school and we couldn't be happier with the supportive environment they provide. Highly recommend this school.

My daughter is so happy to be back in school at Killian Oaks Academy. She used to struggle with reading and math, and would dread going to her old school every morning. Now she wakes me up in the morning excited for the school day! Thank you KOA for changing my daughter's perspective on education and helping her to grow and thrive.

There is no place like Killian Oaks Academy. Walking into the school you see students that are engaged and learning. The staff is cooperative and willing to do everything for our children. They are well trained and effective in helping my daughter develop her organizational skills. The teachers build the skills of students while not overwhelming them with busy work. My daughter receives the amount of homework that she is able to complete successfully. This makes her feel like a champion. The administrators are always out and about and greeting everyone with a smile. The most important gift that this school offers is truly caring for our children. With everything that is happening in this world, they make sure that children understand and demonstrate compassion, empathy, and kindness. My daughter now enjoys reading and is excited about going to school. Thank you for all you do!

This is a horrible school with a lack of professionalism. Understaffed and treat their current staff with little respect. Students are not happy and no extra curricular classes nor staff. Office has no staff, no one to answer phones, no one to help students in need.

My son began at Killian Oaks Academy in the 6th grade and is now a thriving sophomore in high school. He’s engaged, happy, and learning. It's exciting to see that the school really walks the talk about engaging and inspiring students. The teachers amaze with enthusiasm and knowledge that meet each student’s needs personally. I'm so grateful my son can have this experience. The community is wonderful. KOA continues to amaze me in giving my son a complete and superior education!

My son will be going to college next year thanks to Killian Oaks Academy. The dynamic leadership and teachers work together to ensure every student maximizes their learning potential and feels good about themselves. Both my children have attended KOA since elementary school. The teachers that supported and inspired them back then, continue to be there for them today. The leadership team ensures that each student receives a personalized academic experience. My children have also grown socially and emotionally. Many times I've sat in the office and was comforted when I needed it most. The administration and the staff at Killian Oaks are a strong team that work together for the betterment of all their students and families. My sons have been students at KOA for 10 years and they are who they are today because of this amazing school.

This school is a very expensive school that has a very low level of education. They prey on parents that are desperate to find a place for their children to fit in and they promise a "real school" experience. This is far from a real school and will set your child back academically and socially since they do not have any extra curricular activities. They do not care about your child and are only in it for the money. If you are ever late with tuition or making any payments, your child will not be allowed to attend school.

Excellent! I highly recommend it to any family; especially if they have found other educational experiences have not worked for them.

Killian Oaks Academy transformed our children. Our children are learning and their academic skills have improved. My sons and daughter have developed great study habits and now believe in themselves thanks to K.O.A.'s character building program. They receive focused attention from caring directors, administration, and staff. It is so incredible to just walk into the office and feel supported. The right school and make all the difference. Thank you K.O.A.!

I have been a teacher at Killian Oaks Academy for over 15 years and they have been among the best years of my life. Killian Oaks Academy came into my life when it was highly recommended to me for my son. Not only was Killian Oaks Academy a perfect fit for my son, but I quickly realized it was a perfect fit for me as I decided to become part of the team. As a staff we support each other and the administration provides us with all the tools and training necessary to enhance the educational experience for both teachers and students. Together we have transformed the lives of hundreds of students. As I begin my retirement, the many wonderful and precious memories will fill me with joy, knowing that I made a difference as part of the Killian Oaks Academy Family.

Killian Oaks Academy saved our child. Their comprehensive approach made her abilities and talents blossom. She has friends, loves going to school, and rushes us in the morning to get there. We just held our quarterly conference and her academic and social growth were extraordinary. How wonderful life can be when your child is in the right school. Killian Oaks Academy has made all the difference in our lives.

Killian Oaks Academy views learning as a scientific process that engages student's attention through well researched strategies and techniques. Our daughter was lost in her previous school and she was labeled as an underachiever. She is now happy, enjoying school, completing her work, and understanding how to learn. We are deeply grateful for all Killian Oaks has done for our daughter!

I found the best school for my daughter and it is Killian Oaks Academy. My daughter was having a hard time with the students at her previous school and then we discovered K.O.A. which helps nurture their student's social skills. They guide them into developing friendships through their school sponsored extra curricular activities. I am ecstatic with her social and academic progress.
