What a lovely school! For one, the theatre and archery programs are exemplary. The student body is smaller than some of the other neighboring schools, but the students have real potential, and I hope to see good results carry over into high school and even college in the not too distant future. The building and grounds are good

My daughter graduated this year from Key MS. The advanced academics path (IB Middle Years Program) was a great fit for her and I feel she's ready to continue the IB Diploma program in high school. I liked that Key MS has a smaller population and environment than other overcrowded schools around the area. It seems my daughter always had personalized attention with her teachers.

This school is awful from the teachers to the students. There are fights everyday, peer pressure is enormous, the teachers do not work with kids who have different learning styles, the children have different agendas in school and no one really cares about grades. I am moving and will not allow my child to go to key again next year. This has been an overall horrible experience. The only good part is the counselor is great and listens helps and works with the kids.

I have a daughter in 8th grade and another that just left this school and is now in 9th grade. Our experience has been incredible. Both of my daughters have excelled at this school. The principal and vice principal are real humans who care about the children. My daughter's were involved with band and did several hours of volunteer work in the community. I highly recommend this school. My third daughter will be attending soon and I'm happy about it.
