Kestrel Heights was wonderful school, I made many lifelong friends, and I also had many teachers that truly were concerned for students' success. One thing I would like to see change is the funding of the school, so that future students have better resources and technology.

I had an alright experience. It was just a small and normal school. Everyone knew everyone and there wasn't always a problem.

I like the school because it is a smaller school and the class sizes are smaller. Students can get more help from the teachers.

My son is in kindergarten. I have to say I love this school. I love the small setting of the classroom making it easier for children to learn. The staff keep you updated about different things that's happening in school.

My godson started kindergarten at Kestrel this Fall. We were concerned on his transition and how he would adjust, but no issues. The staff, his teacher and TA are exceptional. He loves the school and so do we. It was a great choice and we are pleased.
