Attn: Potential Enrollment Parents,…read more My son has been attending Kings Kids Preschool for the last two years he is in the 4 year old class this year he loves it there, he has never had a day that he cried going there. The teachers are amazing they care about the progress of every child and make it a point to know your child their likes and dislikes along with the rest of the family. The staff at Kings kids teach bible truths along with the standard education that we all want our children to know. Kinds Kids has been around for three decades with the main teacher being there the entire time.

Awesome. Got into preschool early and it has some of the best staff and schools I have been to…read more Very understanding

First Creek Middle School is the shittiest school around here! I have a 6th grader who completely…read morefailed all year...had a total of 83+ tardies (yet he was at school on time every day due to riding the bus every morning), NEVER brought home his homework, played games in computer class instead of doing work and doodled and screwed off and so on and so on...he had all F's and D's on this report cards all year and failed...yet they REFUSE to make him repeat the 6th grade...i mean come on, he has a 1.4 GPA not to mention he was harassed, bullied and assaulted everyday there by a few fellow classmates and has even had his clothes cut up during PE or stolen during PE...but the staff did absolutely nothing! My son would aimlessly wander the halls and because "they dont do hall sweeps for 6th graders, they weren't too worried about him"...smh! I've googled this school and they have a very bad rap online ESPECIALLY for fighting and a crooked principal ...not to mention too...the new principal mrs. becky owens, has lied to me several times one stating they have no security onsite when they do and telling me "IM NOT ALLOWED TO SEE MY SON AT SCHOOL WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM HER AND HIS TEACHERS FIRST, IT'S IN THE TEACHERS CONTRACTS"...they conceal my son away from me as if she is hiding something or hiding something one of her teachers are doing...all in all i hate it and im never going back with my children. They treat my husband like he is a terrorist or something simply cause he is black and my son is blonde hair, blue-eyed and it makes all of us VERY uncomfortable!! Lousy lousy school and staff!!!

I have taken much time and pondered my thoughts extensively as it pertains to writing this review…read more Please know that it comes from a place of passion, hurt and confusion. This review will be extensively, but I urge you to read it in its entirety. Firstly, I want to say that my wife and I had high hopes for this school when enrolling our three-year-old daughter. My name is Gerry Gordon and I am writing and advocating for my wife and daughter who have been tremendously affected by the misconduct of Annie Wright schools. Secondly, I want to address that due to the numerous accounts of negligence and social injustice my daughter endured I am convinced there is no diversity inclusion training or awareness within the Lower school staff, before and after school staff and its counterparts. Why do I say these things? Here are the things my daughter had to endure in only a 6-month period. Not in any particular order. 1. My daughter got ill with the flu due to the Annie Wrights lack of communication. To expound on this topic, I received an email stating that my daughter was "out of sorts", lethargic and not herself. Still having trust in the educators and nurse at this point, my wife and I took their advice to "monitor" her and check for a fever. We asked their opinion if we should come and they said NO she doesn't have a fever. Mind you we were never called but emailed and who knows how long she was sick. Come to find out she was in the nurse's office for over an hour maybe more. Long story short, my daughter ends up with the flu because I decided to take her to the doctor because the next day she returned to school and got a fever. On multiple occasions, we have seen her outside in the cold without a jacket. WE WERE NEVER CALLED ONCE while she exhibited concerning health signs. The nurse and the teachers refused to call and said email their primary form of contacting parents, even after I BOLDY requested phone calls due to the nature of my job and my wife's schooling. My daughter getting the flu could have been avoided with better communication. Once we gave them the requested doctors note it was questioned by the nurse. There was a lack of empathy and most importantly again we were never called. 2. My daughter was walking around barefoot I'm not sure how long this took place because we were never told or notified. The school requires extra shows and socks and she has rainboots. There is no reason for my child to walk around school for who knows how long without any shows or socks on. Once again it was treated as a simple thing and hardly addressed. 3. My daughter told us she was hit by a door from one of the staff that works directly with her. This concerned us, and we always follow up with the staff when our daughter tells us something. This said the staff has treated my wife and very different when trying to communicate simple things like "good morning". She even said Bria didn't like her for some odd reason. When confronted about the door situation her response we "it was an accident". 4. My daughter went an entire day without eating lunch. This was the final straw for us. I picked my daughter up at 5 pm and the first thing she said to me was "Daddy I didn't eat lunch today". I was concerned but questioned her and she insisted she didn't eat. Upon arriving home, I checked her lunchbox to validate her claim and there was a sticky note on there from her ticker that read, "We still don't have power for our microwave... Likely not tomorrow as well. Thanks!! Mrs. Peterson". This is wrong on so many levels. We never received a phone call so that we could possibly provide another meal. There were so many options that were not explored for my daughter to eat. Heating the meal up in another class. Giving her the paid hot lunch, the school provides and so many others. Instead, her teacher gave her a graham cracker or two and let her watch all the other kids in the class eat their lunch because she was the only one that didn't get a feed that day. Mind you she is the only African American shouldn't in her class, so this is more than just negligence of a child but socially bias behavior. When confronted by my wife, the teacher showed a lack of empathy. She stated, "I didn't think it was that big of a deal". Once my wife explained her distaste for her lack of empathy, I clam but passionate way, the teacher began to weep and blamed it on her being pregnant.
