For 20 years, Kernan Trail Elementary School has provided a high-quality academic experience to some of the youngest Golden Glades residents. The public school houses kindergarten through fifth grade, exposing youth to the Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM) curriculum from day one. Faculty and staff partner with parents to encourage a lifelong commitment to learning and excellence. Student programs like green club, girls on the run and Lego league keep pupils engaged in social and character-building activities. Skill-building clubs like intermediate art club and chorus offer more opportunities for student expression during the day. Kernan Trail is an average size elementary that remarkably provides a lower-than-average student-to-teacher ratio. According to state records, student achievement and success are common here as the school performance is above average. Enrolled students can expect to participate in theme months and complete engaging projects in core subjects such as P.E., music and computer science classes. With a lighthearted cartoon panther as its mascot, Kernan Trail Elementary is best known for its STEAM curriculum, supportive environment and consistent student performance.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
