Keith Country Day School is more than a school, it's a family. Teachers genuinely care for the students, and the smaller class sizes ensure personalized attention.

A safe , nurturing environment that will challenge your child academically and help them to become a well rounded student . It's diverse and has small class sizes and you WON'T find fights in the hallways or any of the crazy behavior you would see in other middle schools and high schools. Your kid will go through here and come out college ready ! It will also start your littlest ones out on the right foot. My 1st grader is reading at a 4th grade level . Grateful for this school.

I can definitely say my time as a Cougar was well spent. The teachers were committed to their respective fields and always prepared for class and extremely supportive. I'm forever grateful for the experiences I had. Mary M.

Lost its mission. No curriculum path. No sports teams. No social clubs or events. No AP options. No students. Class size is around 5 to 1.

My child attended this school and it was a HORRIBLE experience! The school is lacking diversity in its staff and student body. We experienced some racial bias with my child constantly being antagonized and provoked by staff members. There is no social emotional support, the school policies and guide...
