My kids have been to several schools in this district, but none of them compare to King Elementary. The teachers are amazing, the staff is incredible, and the PTA is so involved and supportive. I truly hope the school gets the recognition and score it deserves. Mrs. Rosales and Mr. Gunnerson are wonderful teachers, and I would 100% recommend King Elementary to any parent considering it for their kids.

Horrible school. They dont care about bullying and dont try to fix anything except make it worse and in fact the staff actually bullies too. The way I was treated many years ago at this school was not the best at all far from it and now my sister is going through it and is getting it 20x worse and the school is VERY aware yet they just dont care. Telling one student they cant have their own out before/after school when theyve already been told by higher ups they can have their phone out during that time and every other student that has a phone has theirs out, that isnt fair in the slightest nor okay. Also taking a student after school and not notifying parents is not okay at all you dont know if theirs someone waiting on that child. Ridiculous. Just about entire staff needs to be changed cause absolutely nothing is okay with that school they simply couldnt care about whats going on at all.

My two boys have are currently enrolled at King and while we have had some issues with leadership in the past, we have a new interim principal who has made a huge difference in leadership and structure. Problems that have been reported are being resolved and kids feel safer and more engaged.

They don't take bullying and sexual harassment seriously.

My son and niece go to this school. I cannot say enough about how great this school and its staff are, I feel like the teachers care so much about my son learning what he needs to and I know they do a great job because his test scores are amazing, I also love that almost all of the staff get to know all of the children even if they aren't in they're class. makes me feel like my son is safe at school, I would only say if there was a downfall was that we have gotten a new principal the last 3years and I would like it if one would just stay so the kids don't get to comfortable with one and then they leave. overall this school is amazing and they have an awesome after school program as well.

This is a great school. Five years ago we got a new principal and he is awesome. He is always in the classrooms and out after school interacting with the student and parents. He also does reading groups in the morning and has everyone help

This school has a new principal who is very approchable and very active with the students of the school. He is very willing to talk with parents and to work with you and your student. I have been happy with most of the teachers and feel that most of them really enjoy their work and are sincerely interested in their students. I am a very active volunteer at this school and have been for 5 years now. I do feel like I have seen an improvement in the environment at the school since my son started attending there.
