The kids were great, i think i made more friends there than i did in any other school. as my fourth school in four years, it really exceeded my expectations. the only downside were the teachers, which really stunk and didnt seem to understand any problems anyone came up with.
My child was at in GT pgm during 2006-08. Some of the teachers were great but some were not. Kilmer does not seem to have a good teacher selection and ongoing assessment process. The administration was only superficially helpful even after approching them for specific teacher related problems (teaching ability). The principal is not reachable easily - she has other layers of admins to contact first and I believe many serious issues do not even make it to her. There were no good response or feedback from administration about the issues we brought up. We were put directly in front of the teacher despite our suggestion that it was not the best way to handle (administration was present as well). No satisfactory responses were made available to us during or after the meeting - all superficial responses only. Incidently, we hear that the specific teacher is no longer there...
My daughter is studying in kilmer. she enjoy the atmosphere,she love the school .As a parent I din't face any problem with my child in her studies. Teachers and the staff of kilmer are very dedicated ,They take lot of care on students. Its a excellent school in fcps.
Kilmer definitely falls far short of its potential. The main problem seems to be over-crowding, which has led the principal to adopt a panoply of rules (assigned lunch seats, no touching in hallways, etc.). Many teachers appear overwhelmed by the number of the students they have to teach and follow silly, unflexible rules that leave no room for common sense. The school is definitely the weakest link in the Madison/Marshall pyramids, as both the elementary and high schools do a much better job with their students.
