Kandy Stripe Academy Reviews

My daughter has attended KSA since Pre-Kindergarden, she is now in the 8th grade. Things have changed since she was in pre-k. There has been a lot of different teachers coming and going. I dont think that my child is learning enough, she never brings home any homework. A lot of the teachers have there favorite students that they show favoritizm towards and that child and makes the other student feel like they are not as important as that child. This school is never organized and really dont care what or how the parents feel about how they run their school. Im glad that this is my childs last year and I hope to God when she goes to high school that she will be prepared!

Kandy Stripe Academy is a very fun and educational school. All teachers have the same attitude with all students. I've been there for thirteen years i am in the 8th grade. Yes at times they can be very strict but only because they have to. I love Kandy Stripe and one day my children will attend Kandy Stripe Academy.

My daughter attends the school and she is not learning enough. It depends on the teacher that the student have.The school have some sorry teachers. They really don't seem like there care if the student gets it or not. There is a big turn around for the teachers. If you want your child to have a teacher that care and awesome teaching this is not the school.

they have a big turn around in teachers i am not very sure of that and some of the staff have bad attitudes but the shool is very clean and i think they plkay a lot of favoritism and compotition with students if they like you then you will learn and be a winner if they do not like you then you will not be a winner so think about it not a healthy enviroment for the child could make the child have very low self esteem observe them before you enroll your children parents .

I attended this school and all 3 children of my children attend/has attended this school. I enjoy the small classroom sizes and the attention that each child receives. Each of my kids started in the 'Just for 2's' and continued thru 8th grade.

My daughter attends Kandy Stripe Academy, she's 2 yrs old and loves it. She learns so many advanced concepts for a toddler, it's amazing. I am proud that she attends this early childhood center and she will continue you until 8th grade.

This is a great learning envirornment for all students as the teachers and staff take an active role in poviding the nurture and care for that young kids need. The students strive hard to reach academic goals while the teachers instill the knowledge and skills necessary for growth and development. I would highly recommend Kandy Stripe Academy for the love and care that each kid receives.

My daughter has attended Kandy Stripe Academy since she was 7 weeks of age. She is now in the 4th grade. She has excelled in her study's and has great pride for her school. The staff is a group of professional and very personable people. They truly care for the well being of each child. Because of their dedication to our children you will find that Kandy Stripe has a strong parent participation because of this atmosphere that is created at the school.

Kandy Stripe is a very structured school with excellent teachers and staff. The number one priority are the children that attends this school. There goal is to educate and give each child what is needed to succeed in this world and to be able to attend a higher education status like attending college.

Kandy Stripe Academy has been in existance for a number of years. The school began as a private school and although has now received public school funding, the school maintains it's private school curriculum. There is a limited number of students in each classrom, enabling each student to gain one-on-one attention. The teaches and staff show care and concern for the welfare for each of it's students.
