    Kentwood has been a lifesaver & constant source of support for my family over the past 6&1/2 years…read more My child started there in 5th grade & is now in 11th. We placed S there after trying for 2+ years to get S help thru the public school system. We adopted S after S was placed in foster care at 9 mos old. S endured heavy drug use by S's bio mom while pregnant & lack of care the first 9 mos of life. S has severe ADHD, ODD, & is on the spectrum (very high functioning) with severe short term memory deficits & math LD. Behavior due to severe frustration over inability to grasp things was getting worse & worse despite twice weekly counseling at school & in our home, tutoring & a begrudgingly granted 504 Plan that did nothing for S. When S started in 5th grade, S was extremely defiant & wouldn't work or follow the rules. S was turning our home into a war zone w/constant tantrums & fighting. Kentwood uses a VERY strict behavioral intervention chart (BIC) that they mark every 1/2 hour or hour for every student. If the kids are acting out so much that it disturbs the other students, they are moved to a special skills lab w/staff trained to work with these situations so they can return to the classroom. The teachers are just AMAZING & incredibly calm & well trained. They communicate with parents regularly & fully -- both good & bad. So nice to get emails or texts telling me of something helpful or smart my kid did vs. always getting those terrible calls about a problem. S is very verbal & social & likes to read. Comprehension is not great, but there's a lot of effort & interest. Math is a whole other story -- ugly, bad, tantrum causing. Instead of pushing S forward into areas S would never understand, they work w/S to get S fully understanding the areas missed & then move forward at S's own pace & ability. I've had to adjust my expectations & realize/accept that S will never fully get some of the math areas or be very academic. And that's OK. The staff has worked extensively w/S & classmates on social skills, life skills like budgeting & saving & price checking, etc. They talk a lot about learning to watch for others' reactions & social cues & they practice it. Conflict resolution too. How to handle frustrations & advocate for yourself. I'm amazed at how much S has grown emotionally over the years. S has been nurtured by so many different teachers & staff over the years & thru multiple grades. They have been there for me to turn to re: behavioral issues at home & always offer good ideas & practical, hands-on help at school so we're working in tandem to help S. S LOVES S's teachers, & has made incredibly good friends there as well. The classes are very small & personalized to what the individual kids need. The small environment, mask wearing, cleaning & distancing has made me comfortable allowing S to go back to school in person. I highly recommend this school if your child has a special academic/behavioral needs that just can't/won't be met in the public school setting.

    The principal and his staff are maybe the worst teaching institution in Palm Beach County. They do…read morenot comply with the American disabilities act. There is no communication between parents and teachers. Their teaching styles do not work. All I can say is if your child is special needs this is not the place to take them. Again, the principal is a joke. They will not help your child in any manner stay away. Stay away stay away. All they want. Is your money you after year after year

    Do NOT recommend! Do NOT recommend! The only good I can say about this school is my son had an…read moreamazing teacher Mrs. Valerie ( 2 year old room) she is amazing with kids and my son adores her. Now to The staff they will lie to your face, and be mindful that one of the girls at the front desk is the daughter to one of the teachers! So if you have any issue with that teacher she will laugh it off or blame your child because it's her mother! So the higher up and management is a joke! They fired a teacher didn't tell the parents till 3 business days later, and that was after I point out why haven't they told us. Your child will be bounced around and not in a stable class at all. My son was moved around with a cubbie with his stuff in it because they had no teacher. The teacher they did give him finally after I complained didn't speak any English what so ever, and the room smelled like a an Extreme amount of cleaning products and the other teacher has lymphedema and can hardly walk well and shouldn't be working with 3 years when she can hardly stand for a long period of time or walk properly. I had to buy extra blankets because they will let kids that forgot a blanket sleep on an empty Mat with nothing on it. When I would go pick up my son at the end of the day I had to play Easter egg hunt to find him because they will never mark down where they are located. They have a high tuition, plus you have to buy the expensive shirts, then pay school supply fee. When you finally get to the class they will hand you a school supplies list after you pay for everything else. Why is there a supply fee but I still to go buy a page long supply list.So think twice before sending your child to the school! Also, a lot of the ratings are from survey links that they sent to the parents and they make sure the parents leave a good rating or they will come say something to you if you don't!

    Worst place ever. Find somewhere else. It is so dirty and disgusting there. I went to grab my…read moredaughter's lunchbox and there's mold in the cubby holes. Alway getting billed incorrectly and management is always sweeping quality issues under the rug. Not sure how this is still a franchise.
