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.
