Pleasant experience. The best option for elementary schools in Paso Robles. Higher socioeconomic status than the other schools, which can disproportionately affect test scores.

Homework tends to be "busy" work, but is checked and reviewed by the teaching staff.

I have been pleasantly surprised with the entire teaching staff at Kermit King.

Their character program seems like an afterthought, but to me, that's ok since I can teach that at home. I want my kids learning academic stuff.

I feel that with the transfer of the Guidance Counselor, the Principal has been, understandably, overwhelmed. She is amazing and I don't blame her.

I don't have a basis of experience with this.

No idea. We haven't experienced it, which is good I suppose.

We had high hopes for Kermit King Elementary School and the Paso Robles School District. People boast of what a great school this is and I just don't understand it. Average level of education here. They do absolutely NOTHING compared to other schools/districts as far as for the family and community. Trunk or treat or harvest festival, Christmas program(one of my best childhood memories in elementary school) or santa's secret shop, muffins with mom, donuts with dad, parent-daughter dance, any type of play or program as simple as a poetry recital involving the children? Forget it! I thought moving from the valley to Paso Robles would be an upgrade, we are very disappointed.

Kermit King is the best elementary school in Paso Robles. The principal and staff are exceptional! Students are taught to be responsible individuals and value their community

Some of these reviews are obviously employees of the school, they speak of the teachers being cream of the crop...so far from the truth. Don't be fooled by some of the gushy reviews found below. If it sounds to good to be true...it is.

My son went to Kermit King for all six years and we loved it. It is truly like a family. We still go back and visit all the teachers. My daughter is now in kindergarten and is just excelling. The staff is very helpful. I wouldn't send my children anywhere else.

If your child needs extra help to do well in school, Kermit King Elementary will not provide it. They expect the parent of the struggling student to find the necessary help completely on their own and of course pay for it. What a shame!

My daughter has gone to Kermit King for all 6 years and we absolutely love it! All of the staff (teachers & office) know her and greet her by name. They are truly a family there!
