- I would not recommend this school for your child. I was told that they have long history with bullies but I did not take it seriously until my 6 yrs daughter became a victim of it. We have several complains but no one took action. Also the yard and playground are in very bad condition. during my surprise visit to school I noticed that generally the classes are in state of chaos. I am looking forward to take my child out of this school.

(Rating: 1 / 5) Report As Inappropriate - Dissapointing experience. The academics are not up to speed. I'm sure my son is way below grade level in math. The teacher's are just okay, some are bad some are just okay. Not what I was hoping for.

- This is the best school that you can have for your children. I moved my daughter from Claremont to Key, what a difference! Dr. Myers, the principal is so involved as all the teachers there. My daughter is so happy and I am too. I don't understand a bad comment about Key...
