Ken Caryl is the best middle school i could have possibly gone to. The teachers are creative and hands on and the administration is amazing! The teachers at Ken Caryl couldnt have prepaired me better for high school.

This school is asolutely amazing! My daughter is in love with going there! Although, she does have some problems with waking up so early to walk there. Overall, principal Pat Sandos is great for the kids, and the teachers are always friendly!

I love the improvements they have made on this school over the break! Not only did we get new bathrooms, and terrific lockers, we got an amazing principal! Mr. Sandos is hundreds of times better than the previous principal! He is extremely involved with the students. I feel like I am learning so much in my 8th grade year compared to last year in 7th grade.

i have always had exellent feedback from my childs teachers all you have to do is ask and also my child has had problems in school and the guidance counselors did everything possible to help her the academics could be more of a challenge and with the new phys ed teacher the sports should be now adequate to say the least with all due respect i have had nothing but a positive experience in the 7th grade year at ken caryl and recomend the school

I feel this school is very below par. I had many problems with the guidance counselors when my son was having problems. Not responsive at all.

KCMS does have an aveage academic program. The most disappointing thing is the lack of teacher feedback. As a parent I have requested several times for some honest feedback about my childs progress. The result has always been that the teacher just agrees with what ever I say. I want a professional opinion about how my child is doing and afte 1 year and 1/2 I have yet to get it.

This school has a lot of problems between teachers and students. They don't teach the students how to deal with problems. The sports are not adequate. There is not much parent envolvement.

I have recently pulled my child out of this school. I have had nothing but problems the year and half he has been attending. We encountered many issues that the staff and principal did nothing to help resolve.

I was counting down the days until my child was out of Ken Caryl. It was a long 2 years. The teachers for the most part are not impressive at all. The principal has no spine. The staff there is very judgemental of the kids there. It is sad. I will not be sending my next 2 kids there, even if I have to transport them myself.

I have been extremely disappointed with Ken Caryl Middle school. The school did not meet my minimun expectations. I was disappointed with the principal as well as the teachers. I am a firm believer that a schools personality and performance start at the top and this is where I believe the problem resides.

I believe this school is very good but there are a few drawbacks to it. For one thing I believe this schools teachers and staff judge the children by there friend and attude. If you are a bad kid they always blame everything one you and your friends and pick one you. However the good kids can get away with anything and it was not fair! If I had a child I would not send my chld to this school. For the most part the the teachers teach the correct skills you need to know, but the bad part is not a lot of teachers are willing to try to help you if you need extra help. When I went to this school I needed a tutor to help me understsand everything. This is what I think of this school.
