Ethel Kight has been great for us and our daughter. She seems so at home and the teachers all seem to love and care for her. She's been attending this school for the last two years. We've been looking to move but haven't because we can't seem to find a house to purchase in their district. We really love the teachers and environment at Ethel Kight and so does our daughter. The fact that she has some physical limitations and that they are always there to help gives us great joy. We thank God for the Teachers and the entire staff! Let's go Knights

Some of the teachers are terrible. My child is having several problems the teachers calling him crybaby and tattle tell when he informs them that another child has hit/kicked him then when he defends himself he gets silent lunch. Today he got off the bus with his clothes wet because he couldn't hold his pee any longer since his teacher wouldn't allow him to use the bathroom before he left the school. The principle never returns calls and when you stop by the school she is never in her office! I had an appointment with her one time and she still didn't show up. I'm over this school completely hopefully my child won't be attending next year

I love EKMS!! Both of my children attended EKMS. Both of my children are gifted learners. I am grateful that the teaching staff recognizes and embraces all students. EKMS has amazing teachers and staff that care and put their students before anything else. I tell everyone that my children's abilities come from a solid foundation of excellent educators! Our Principal is an amazing leader she knows her staff and knows their abilities.

This school is an ok school, the principal needs to be replaced, she is two-face, and is not truly compassionate towards all kids...we must treat everyone equally..the teachers are snobbish...wouldn't send my child back to this school
