I have to give it all 5 stars. The staff are great. I have no complaints. The education my child receives is wonderful. A GREAT SCHOOL!
I have to give NKES an A+, at least in Rainbow house. My son has been there since he was 2 1/2 and he's now 5 (I held him back from K-5 because of speech). His teacher and the teacher's aid were wonderful the past few years. So far this year is going great too! I had a very close relationship with his last teacher. She kept me up to date on everything & you could tell that she loved him and her job. He does still have some issues with his speech however he's come a long way. I was a student that attended New Kent Schools & I have to tell you they have certainly come a LONG way. Reading was a problem with lots of kids I went to school with. Parents learning starts at home and if your unhappy you need to make your voice heard.
I have mixed feelings about New Kent Schools. We have two children attending this countie's school system. One is nine and at the New Kent Elementary School. The other is 12 and is at the Middle School. I feel that my middle school child has missed out alot on his reading skills. My elementary age child has done much better. As with all schools, parent involvement is a must. You must know where your child's level is and be there at homework time. It takes all I can do in the evenings, to get everything done. I am a working mother of two and am exhaulsted but, it's my responsibilty to keep on track. However; the bus situation improved greatly, 2007. I must say, that 2006 and the years before were completely out of control with the transportation department. Finally, they are not exposing the younger ones to things.
