A couple teachers my kids have had are wonderful, but the vast majority are nasty, burnt out, crotchety old women who don't like kids and need to retire. The school needs to revamp their grading policies. My daughter only has 3-4 grades for an entire marking period (all tests). They don't do nearly enough projects or hands on activities. The teachers are lazy and pull worksheets straight off the internet.

KES has been such an amazing school for my son. He is surrounded by kind children, amazing teachers and exemplary teacher's assistants. The PTO is very involved and there's always something fun going on.

Severely overcrowded. Lots of bullying and issues with unmotivated and overworked teachers. The school is poorly ran and there is no support for many children.

Instead, the ugliness they bring to the community has ruined and otherwise great school and Waxhaw. Th...
