Kettering Elementary School

My overall experience has been better than I expected. My son previously attended a private school but I feel he is getting a better, well-rounded education at KES. He LOVES his school! The small class sizes, secure school grounds, engaged parents and attentive administration are all major pluses for KES.

Poor. The teacher treats 5 and 6 years kids like they are not supposed to have bad days. I am very disappointed and my daughter doesn’t like the teacher anymore because of how she treated her when she was sick. She mad my daughter sick in her chair put her head down like she in some kind of punishment while her class mate are playing next to the teacher. My daughter was crying the whole time.

I was pleasantly pleased, any and every concern I've had has been addressed. The school provides many opportunities for parents to come and participate. Each time I have I have come, I often see some of the same parents as before and the teachers are very appreciative of the support.

As a parent and an educator, I can say that Kettering is failing our children. My child was assigned to this school, as we recently moved to this area, and while the Admin does a good job with bulling/behavior issues, the school overall is FAR behind academic growth and development. Further, there is no apparent evidence of lessons that incorporate creativity, universal learning strategies, or variations in teaching techniques that appeal to diverse learners. The primary focus of my child's day to day school life has been dedicated to "Red, Yellow, or Green" behavior checks. I am trying everything in my power to get my child OUT of this school before the year ends.
