Hello, I am the Headmaster/Principal of KCS. I've read through many wonderful reviews but I've also seen the negative ones. Everyone has a right to their opinion and certainly their experience was personal and truthful from their perspective. Unfortunately, none of these complaints came to me or across my desk. We work diligently to solve issues and concerns as they are brought to us. Rarely if ever do we have to agree to disagree or cannot solve concerns we know about. Humans tend to complain to one another but not to the people who can actually fix their concerns. We do have issues....all schools do. Just because we are Christians does not make us immune. However, personally I dedicate my life to helping others and helping KCS be the best we can be. However, I cannot fix things I don't know about nor can I make improvements when I don't know there are problems. I certainly wish the unhappy individuals that took the time to write negative reviews would have taken the time to talked personally with me to see if we could have resolved their concerns. Their generalizations are unfair and hurtful to all of the educators who work diligently to serve their needs--spiritually, emotionally, socially, academically, and physically. We aren't perfect but our intentions are pure. If you are interested in KCS or want to learn more, I would gladly connect you with the hundreds of families who have had wonderful experiences but haven't gone online to review. Thank you for taking your time to read my comments. Sincerely, Ruth Gray

Teachers are always available to help any student that struggles.

Posted: June 13, 2018

Anytime bullying is suspected, observed, or reported, everything within the power of the leadership is done to get to the bottom of the situation and correct it. It is not tolerated.

Kingwood Christian School's Mission Statement says, "The mission of Kingwood Christian School is to provide a Christ-centered environment where students are challenged to achieve spiritual growth and academic excellence." The faculty, staff, students, families, and leadership are partners to ensure this mission is realized. KCS has graduates attending medical school, Harvard University, and a vast variety of colleges and universities . They have students participating in college marching bands whether playing an instrument, performing as a majorette, or as a member of the color guard. Some are cheerleaders while others are playing sports. Others choose to serve their communities as firemen or EMTs. KCS students are involved in every facet of life; teaching, nursing, engineering, etc. Every student has a multitude of opportunities available to them and KCS helps them to achieve their goals and dreams. I would highly recommend that parents seriously consider sending their child/children to Kingwood Christian School.

Students are given an opportunity to complete work in the classroom where they can receive help from the teacher. If students don't complete their assignment, they take it home to complete it. There is some homework given for students to have the chance to practice what they have learned and increase their knowledge and experience.

Posted: June 13, 2018

The teachers are always available to tutor and help their students. Math tutoring is offered once a week every week for students. Any time students have a problem and need guidance the teachers are there to listen. They are able to speak life into their students through the Word of God and through their prayers.

Posted: June 13, 2018

All students at the school take a Bible class each day where character, integrity, compassion, respect, kindnees, etc. are taught through God's Word. The school chosses a charity each year and raises money for that charity during Homecoming week. The senior class selects a charity or need and raise money during the school year for that cause. At graduation, they present the recipient with the monies raised. In each class teachers maintain, expect, and encourage these character traits. "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

The leadership has an open door policy and is always available to students, parents, faculty, and staff. They are willing to listen and do everything within their power to resolve any issues. There are times when we all agree to disagree but everyone's voice is heard.

Posted: June 13, 2018

Students receive one-on-one help if needed. Tutoring is made available for free.

Posted: June 13, 2018

Bullying is not tolerated. Teachers have been instructed to stop bullying when they see it occur.

Posted: June 13, 2018

Our son graduated from KCS. It was a great experience for us. His KCS education prepared him well for the challenges he faced at the university level.

Posted: June 13, 2018

Expectations are generally made clear by the teachers.

Posted: June 13, 2018

Teachers are all qualified in their fields and are expected to complete further training during the year.

Posted: June 13, 2018

Students receive training through daily Bible classes and weekly chapel services. Additionally, there is an annual Spiritual Emphasis Week.

Posted: June 13, 2018

The administration and school board provide sound leadership for the school.

Posted: June 13, 2018

Teachers use different means of grading other than tests so that students who are not good test takers still have the opportunity to work hard and make good grades.

Posted: June 13, 2018

Bullying is not tolerated in any grade. If a student or parent bring it to the attention of the teacher or administration it is dealt with on individual basis.

Posted: June 13, 2018

Both of my children excelled at KCS. My daughter is entering her junior year in college and because of her years at KCS she has been on eith the Dean’s list or President’s list each semester.

Posted: June 13, 2018

The teachers give homework as a follow up to what is taught in class. Some even give time in class to complete so they are there to answer questions.

Mrs Gray has worked very hard to turn this school around after other administrators ran it into the ground.

Strong Christian values are instilled in students across the board from k5-12

Kingwood Christian is an admirable school that stands strong in its Christian values, in order to produce well educated, Christ-like adults, while exposing them to a number of extracurriculars that are taught at very high level.

Teachers do not care about students. They dont even care about what they teach

Posted: May 15, 2018

This school bullies one another and tear each other down. Horrible students

Posted: May 15, 2018

There is no leadership at this school at all

Posted: May 15, 2018

This school does not help with learning differences at all. Nothing

Posted: May 15, 2018

I had 6 different math teachers during my 5 years at Kingwood. The principal cares more about the image of the school rather than the students. There were constant drug issues involving students, some went unnoticed. I had many classmates high during school. The administration turns a blind eye on almost everything. Teachers do not about students grades except for the foreign language teachers. Teachers are native about the constant cheating by students. Multiple teachers would get pregnant and leave in the middle of the year to be replaced. This happened twice in a year. I never saw the principle care once for the high school after her daughter graduated. Administration values sports players with scholarships more than the other students. I heard stories about how bad the band instructor treated the students. Students are bullied so much in this school. I was bullied up until my senior year. Staff does not do anything to prevent this.

My children attended KCS. We experienced bullying from the staff! Some of the teachers are wonderful. However, too many of the teachers and administrators have their children there and are unable to seperate their role as parent from that of teacher/administrator. Those teachers bully students on behalf of their children and have no idea how to fairly interact with the majority of the students.

My grandchildren made the switch to Kingwood this past year. Our second grader has already mastered cursive writing and is doing multiplication. A big difference is the class size, with the smaller class size the teachers are able to teach. No longer having to wait for the weakest student to catch up before moving ahead. It is a wonderful school with a dedicated staff.

Posted: May 16, 2017

The school has a zero tolerance policy to bullying. It is enforced by the teachers as well as the administration.

Posted: May 16, 2017

While they do not have all the resources available in public school, the teachers make an effort to help those students who need extra help.

Posted: May 16, 2017

The principal, Mrs. Ruth Gray, is very involved in the day to day operation of the school as well as the students. It is nice when you have a principal who makes an effort to know the students.

Posted: May 16, 2017

Kingwood has chapel weekly as well as teaching Bible as part of it's curriculum. This points them to good values.

Posted: May 16, 2017

The teachers use very creative methods to engage the students in learning. Lots of hand on experiences which makes learning fun.

Posted: May 16, 2017

In homework, reading is highly emphasized. They have required reading and also must read so many minutes in a night as homework. It is not excessive but it helps you to see the work that the student is doing. They keep you very informed.

Posted: February 2, 2017

"kids will be kids" and while you cannot assure families that their children will be totally free from bullies, in my experience, KCS doesn't tolerate bullying and the teachers are always on watch for all students, making sure they are being treated in a way that is respectful.

Posted: February 2, 2017

While they are unable to offer the many programs that public schools provide, they will do their best to make sure they give every child an opportunity to grow and learn.

I love that the faculty have chosen to work in a Christian environment, taking the time to encourage my child both academically and spiritually. All 3 of my children attend and we are very pleased.

Posted: November 29, 2014

I have been at kingwood for almost 10 years. My child is currently being bullied and the administration is not helping my child with this at all. It almost seems like they are encouraging the bullying. Most likely switching to public school next semester! I would not recommend this school to anyone. Academics are not very good either.

Posted: May 13, 2014

Kingwood is such an incredible school! I have two children there and my third will be starting K next year. The teachers care so much about the kids and it is small and close knit that we almost feel like family. The principal knows my kids and makes an effort to know the names of everyone in the elementary school. The staff is amazing as well. My kids will continue to go to KCS until they graduate! Very, very highly recommended

Posted: November 15, 2013

We have 3 children at KCS. Our kids all started in preschool with Kingwood. We currently have one in 10th, 7th and 3rd grade. Absolutely love the school, teachers, students and Christian environment.!

if you do not go to the church don't waste your time or money.not a good school took child out and put in public he was behind in math and other subjects

I am a teacher for a public school system but my son goes to Kingwood. We placed him at KCS for the academics and the students. The students are kind to each other, I know that this is taught in school and at home but the students seem to enjoy each other in the elementary school. We have also been very grateful for the Christian values presented and practiced in the school, at the football games, and at PTO meetings. We have also been pleased with the academics-he is functioning about 1/2 a year AHEAD of a public school classroom. We love it and can not say enough good things about the school, teachers, staff, and principal.

My daughter currently attends Kingwood Christian School. She is only in the second grade, but has already experienced the incredible way this private school treats their students. From day one, when she entered Kindergarden, the teachers have gone above and beyond to make sure she is on track and have been wonderful about keeping me and her Dad informed. The only "bad" thing I can think of is that one of her teachers from first grade was slightly unsatisfactory, but the very next year, this teacher was no longer teaching there. We just last year have a new principal who is absolutely wonderful. I feel very confident that my daughter will receive the best education at this school. Her brother is currently enrolled at the Kingwood Christian Child Development Center (daycare), and will move forward to join his sister at Kingwood School. I just can not praise this school enough! Thank you, teachers and staff, for all you do each day! Oh, the summer fun program is incredible too. It is a "camp" where the kids go on field trips and play, but also have the opportunity for summer enrichment with tutors. Thank you, thank you, Kingwood!!! Go Lions!!!!
