My Fifth grade son attends Camas Prairie, and is blessed to be in Mr. Kennedy's class. We made a move from Port Orchard last year, and moving was quite the experience. Mr. Kennedy made all of those fears disappear, and I am so very glad my son gets to experience his 5th grade year with Mr. Kennedy. I could go on for days about how wonderful this school is, and the staff members that are truly compassionate about the children.

My son is a first grader here this year. His teacher is amazing, his SE staff is amazing. He has grown so much this semester, and I am very excited about it. They have a team work ethic, and as a parent it is very helpful with multiple teachers. I am involved every step of the way and the communication is outstanding. If your a parent that is not involved in your childs education then you may have a problem with this school, and every other public school for that matter. This school takes the students scores from their "standarized testing" very seriously and works to make sure the children understand the "common core standards". *Bonus* The YMCA has before & after care here, and the staff is super!!! They are caring, and actively involved with the kids. They help with homework and always have different daily activities. They also provide a ton of feedback and have wonderful communication.
