We moved in 3 years ago in the middle of the school year, and so far I'm happy with the school. Staffs are always friendly and caring. The three vice principals are seen everywhere positive, kids love them. When you need help or talk to admin, they are there. The music and art department always put best effort with their programs. My kid loves chorus, recorder, chime, and cello. So many great teachers who stayed from the beginning of the school for 10 years, which you don't see a lot nowadays. Parents' involvement is great, I love father-daughter dance every year, can't wait for this year's event!

This is my family's second year at Keene's Crossing and both years have been great. The first year out second grade teacher was ok (and we just found out that she transferred to a different school), but this year her third grade teacher is amazing. It's been a lot of iReady, but we understand this is to help prepare for the FSA. It sucks that so much emphasis has to be placed on the FSA but that is not the school's fault, that is the state. The school just does what they need to do so the students are ready. The school is a very big school, but they still find a way to keep all students engaged and productive during the school day. Parents also have lots of opportunities to volunteer to help.

This is an excellent school! My son is currently enrolled in Kindergarten for the 2017/18 school year, and his first 6 months have been a wonderful experience. Despite my son having challenges with ADHD, my son's teacher is so caring and focused on ensuring he achieves success. She communicates regularly with me via email about his progress and "challenging days," and I really appreciate that. He loves attending school every day, and is thriving at Keene's Crossing. Re: the previous comments about having to arrive 45-60 mins prior to school opening in the morning to drop off your child, they are no longer true (that might have been the case in previous school years, but not now). We drive our son to school every morning (our home is too far for walking distance) and park at approx 8:05am in the spaces along the road next to the community park. From there, we make the very short walk up to the school building and are back in our car headed to work no later than 8:20am. It's a total of 15 mins to accomplish our drop off every morning. We cannot speak for the afternoon pick-up, because our son attends the Afterschool Program until 5pm every day (at which point there is no traffic or challenge in driving directly up to the school to get him). Just wanted to share this info in case others are seeing the previous comments about morning drop-off being a challenge. It's totally manageable now!

Brilliant teachers and administrators, one of the top in the state.
