The best part of Kinkaid is the teachers because they truly want to help you and are willing to help you thrive. The worst part is the lack of diversity and parent involvement. There have been multiple incidents of parents being queerphobic and anti-racial diversity, but these have not been addressed due to the parents' roles as donors to the school.

I've enjoyed my experience at kinkaid especially my academic improvement transferring from public to private school. The only thing that I wish could help me connect with the community better was making more friends, but the school has very little people which is hard to make friends and connect.

The food here is amazing period. The teachers genuinely care and they're super good at what they do. The curriculum is challenging enough and there are a lot of courses available. Students get a lot of freedom and independence to succeed. Sports are good, and the facility is beautiful. Arts are okay but its mainly good because they recruit kids that were already successful.

Kinkaid is a great place to work. I have worked here for over 20 years. The students are focussed on learning here. It is exciting to see the construction of new buildings and the construction of future learning places for the students!

The school is succeeding on it's reputation and alumni that remember it from the " Good ol' days." However, it is just " who you know " school and nothing extraordinary about the curriculum or programs. It is relying on an old reputation, but not furthering seeking excellence or progressing in any a...
