I love learning. I love teaching. As a teacher at CKHS for over ten years--I have so many wonderful…read morethings to say; however, when I brought concerns to the DIS directly regarding security of my account--I realized we were missing some important procedural updates that are necessary in any 21st century public organization (not business :)). In fact, my account was accessed from countries involved in current wars, as well as a few states in US. This fraud continued for almost three years before I made them finally respond (which was not received well). In fact, when I found hundreds of files from a local elementary school in my private account--I was sooo incredibly worried. To this day, there has been no follow-up or resolution to what I believe to be a significant and dangerous security breach that could potentially affect student data and information that was attached to my account. As AP coordinator, Highly-Capable mentor, Intervention Specialist, ELA District lead, and AViD teacher (as well as full-time English teacher), I had a lot of information in my account that could have been exploited. In addition to informing the District at every turn, I also sent letters to NEA, Congress reps in WA, as well as White House officials. Right now, student data can be sold on the deep web for $1200 according to some of computer science research. As the ToR browser contains about 90% of the current data in world browser, whereas it only comprises a portion of what is seen. I realize that internet security is confusing and easy to ignore--it must not be left unattended when students are working on free platforms like Google Suites, etc. Their information can be stolen and used, which worries me both as a parent and teacher. My goal for this review is to publically call for more accountability in this area. I hesitate to even guess as to how and why the information was accessed in the first place, and what the potential damages may be found for students and staff in future years. Again, there is so much to celebrate with this institution of "excellence." I was shocked at the negligence in what I believe to be a vital part of any organization. Thank you for reading!

This is one of my very favorite schools. Teachers and office staff are awrsome! Best school…read moredistrict in Washington, but it's my opinion!

They teach kids a Classical Education, the kids are great and the teachers actually care about what…read morethey're teaching... And the students are LEARNING. This school has been an absolute blessing for my kids. The uniforms help with keeping kids focused on school work and not on what they're wearing. It makes getting ready in the mornings so much easier. My son is finally making friends because there are finally people who have a similar Christian faith and world view, whereas, he was getting bullied at our local public school. In an ideal world, I'd have school choice and not have to pay for my son's education and also pay into the public school system that has failed so many kids.... But this is what was needed for my son's education and well-being, and we're all very glad to have made the switch.

I am truly sorry to say that I exposed my innocent 5 year old child to some of the most…read morein-Christian "Christians" in the Universe. This was some time ago, maybe the school has improved, but let me telly you may experience. In good faith, I enrolled my son in a "Christian" school, hoping that he would have the experiences I had in Catholic school...strong academi, strong role models and kind but strict teachers. Nope. The kindergarten teacher my son was exposed to was most definitely not a follower of Christ. Christ taught to include rather than exclude. To be kind and accepting, not mean an judgmental. Melissa, I believe her name was. She was terrible. She bullied and belittled my child to the point where he would come home crying. She then threw him out of class saying he was not cutting it in kindergarten. SHE DID HIM A FAVOR. He went to a local school, Cougar Valley after that, where he had one of his best school experiences. Mrs. W was truly a kind, compassionate follower of Christ, unlike Melissa from King's West. Through her kindness and patience he survived kindergarten. Fast forward 10 years, John is now taking college-level classes as a Freshman in High School. No doubt, this is because he was removed from Kings West.
