Being relocated from another country and my kid entering kindergarten with no English at all was really difficult for him, but all the school staff made a great effort to integrate him. Now, my 2nd child is entering kinder and we are really happy with the school.

My child is a rising fourth grader. We love Key school. The biggest asset (aside from making your child bilingual and bi-literate) is the sense of community at Key. The teachers, staff, students and family members feel part of the Key family. Test scores can’t reflect that sense of belonging. Key deserves a 10/10 ranking in my opinion. But when you accept half the student body with Spanish as their primary language, and teach half of your curriculum in Spanish, you can’t be surprised at the lower standardized assessment scores. What those standardized assessments don’t t show is that our children come out BILINGUAL! That opens doors for their careers more than high test scores.

The experience was good for my daughter and for me. Academically, I believe it should be more strict with students in some subjects such as Math and writing

This is a terrific school that provides a great education and atmosphere and creates bi-lingual students.
