Kentwood felt like home the first time my husband and I toured when my son was 3. We joined for a follow up when he was 4 and enrolled happily for K commencing in 2020. School last year was *interesting* - online and a K parent... I had low expectations. Kentwood exceeded expectations. My son's teacher was excellent and I managed to meet some local families while remote. Everyone is SO nice! Moving to the 2021 school year - IN PERSON! We added a kid, now TK and 1st grade students on campus. Our teachers are wonderful (Dr Williamson us a legend! And Ms Lee is kind, genuine, caring and eager to help our children who have never been in school full time.). The campus is clean, great playgrounds and green space. We even have a literacy garden for the TK-K kids to spend free learning time outside. The highlight of Kentwood? Our amazing new principal - she's hands on, working to bring parents back on campus, safely given Covid restrictions. Ms Von Schreiber is a gift to our school community. My children adore her and I admire her greatly. She's out front every day at drop off, responds to emails, dresses up for Halloween and 100 days....we are lucky to have her. I can't recommend this wonderful, true neighborhood school enough! #koalastrong

Right now there is 1 teacher per grade which is wild. 30ish kids in one class. A teacher out right told me that she couldn't attend to every child because her class was large and too many kids were causing distractions. The 5th Grade Teacher this year is completely unprofessional and because she is the only teacher I cannot switch my child out. I've tried other schools but they say unfortunately they are full for that grade. Do not send your child here. Under staffed, the curriculum is horrible, and a lot of the resources are gone. My daughter attended K-8 and was failing by the time she reached 7th and 8th grade. One of her classes had a substitute for the majority of the year. Since she has left she's been on principal honor roll. It's this school that is failing our kids.

As a parent, I am extremely disappointed with how concerns regarding bullying and student safety…read morewere handled at this school. My daughter previously reported issues involving another student, and after a serious incident occurred again, administration claimed there was no record of her original complaint. That alone was very concerning to me. What upset me most was the lack of empathy and urgency shown toward both students and concerned parents. I did not feel acknowledged or supported when trying to address an ongoing safety concern involving my child. Instead of feeling reassured, I left feeling like the situation may not have been taken seriously until it was escalated further. Every child deserves to feel safe at school and comfortable reporting bullying without feeling dismissed. I hope the school improves its communication, documentation, and overall handling of student concerns moving forward.

The experience that both of my children have had at the school has been life-changing for them and for us. My 3rd grader, who was struggling in K-2, felt so welcomed.

There are a lot of projects that allow the kids to apply their learning in real life situations.
