My kids have attended Kingsford for 2 years and overall we have been pleased with the experience. Coming from years at private school we weren't sure what to expect. We quickly realized that in all subjects the curriculum was ahead of or on par with what was being taught at the private school and the class work is appropriately challenging. My main criticism of the school is that its bullying policy is not enforced and it seems as though some of the more troublesome students aren't appropriately dealt with which creates a disruption for entire classrooms. That said, we have been pleased with and impressed by the hands on approach of the school's leadership, particularly the principal and vice principal. Some of the teachers are exceptional and take seriously the need to adapt to different learning styles.

Kingsford is a wonderful school with a great staff and administration. They nurture the students there and have a strong academic program that his resulted in some of the highest test scores in the county. In addition their art, music and pe programs are strong. They offer great extra curricular activities like basketball, art club, choir, and walking club. Strong and growing PTA.

Kingsford is an Excellent school and the staff is Great! Principal Watkins and her staff are very caring and responsive. I have had 2 children to attend the
school and they each have excelled! My wife and I work with our children but really appreciate the academic work that they have received at the school.

There is no support system in this school. The Principal allows parents to dictate there children's education and behavior. I've seen daycares ran better then place!!! Your child is not safe in this school, Principal (Ms. Watkins) and staff have allowed plotted assaults and have allowed parents full access to school and classrooms during teaching time which questions the safety of the children and teachers. If this is the best school in PG then it's no wonder PG is graded the worst schools in are nation.
