Kingston - School Report Question and Answers
Please describe some of your child's/children's highlights and challenges during their time at this school.
Chess club has been a highlight. It's coached by a grand master. My son has really gotten into it. His fourth-grade teacher was also really great. Challenges: the school's communication with parents is disorganized, and when I've followed up for information, some of the responses from teachers are quite disrespectful in my opinion. For instance, they put out contradictory calendars last year, but when I told them I was having challenges keeping up, they told me I was disorganized. The administration seems to prioritize a flashy website and cosmetic changes over parents' priorities (like a functioning library). There is little-to-no coordination between Elementary School and Middle School/High School. The (maybe) good news is that the administration is changing over at the end of this year, so hopefully the new people will fix some of these problems. - Sep 2023
