They are killing our children here. My son was beaten by a group of people; the school handed him over to his parents in critical conditionwithout calling either the police or an ambulanceand instead simply sat there for 25 minutes, watching him suffe

There are plenty of options regarding AP that you can take. The biggest issue within the school is the bullying policy along with the drug use. The bullying is mostly verbal which is missed by most teachers. The drug use is apparent when you go to the bathrooms but if you know when to go and which bathrooms to avoid you can skip this all together. Some teachers think of themselves too highly but if you ask around you can figure out which teachers those are you will do fine

Look at the OSPI Report Card. If you want your student to go to school to learn academics or graduate, KR is the place to be.

Hi, I am currently a junior at KR and I have to say it is a very good school. This school has challenging classes, activities, and it also offers very fun opportunities for the students to find friends. There might be some drug problems but it is very minor (at least to me because I was not involved in any conversations or actions of that sort related to this subject). Overall I love this school even though sometimes it might have some challenges.

My son is a 9th grader. the Honors program is amazing and challenging. The teachers in that program are there to teach at a high level. He is also a basketball player. The sports programs are strong and the drama and dance teams are strong too. It is still important to be involved as a parent. Its a large school so take the time to get to know the teachers, counselors, and principal. Go to parent night. Don't just rely on your student to get things handled, they are teenagers :)

I have been affiliated with KR for several years now, and have recently become a freshman. I like the comfortable atmosphere of the school, and yet it sometimes feels a little bit to comfortable. I like all of the teachers, but i think that the majority of students, unfortunately, do not apply themselves at all. I feel that the administrators always brag about how great KR is, when I can't really understand what they're saying. I still give KR 4 stars because I feel like the teachers make it a great school, and the sports programs are up to par with the academic opportunities.
