My daughter is an 8th grade student at Kastner. Overall, she enjoys her classes and teaches. The school provides a solid academic foundation and many opportunities for students to seek support if they are struggling with classwork. There are lots of great ways for students to get involved in campus life - many clubs, extra curricular activities, and sports to chose from. My main criticism with this school is the lack of enforcement regarding the cell phone policy which creates many issues from safety to bullying to classroom distractions on campus. Although Kastner states it enforces a "bell to bell" policy for cell phone and electronic use on campus - I have not seen any evidence that this is true. In fact, many teachers (especially the P.E. teachers) encourage students to play on their phones when they do not have a lesson plan for the day (which is often). Visiting Kastner, you will see a vast majority of students walking to class with a phone in hand, playing on their phones at break instead of participating in social engagement, running with a phone in hand during P.E., and using cell phones during class time. Students are frequently bullied and recorded without consent, both during break and in the locker room, with videos and photos landing on social media. No consequences will be issued to perpetrators unless students report it is happening, which many students don't want to take the time to do. Students are also frequently exposed to explicit and inappropriate content, as many students have no parental controls on their smart phones and share content with others at recess, break, and locker room time. This school could be so much more if it actually enforced the cell phone policy and encouraged social interaction, instead of encouraging a "play on your phone and be quiet" mentality.

Kastner is a wonderful school who has recently been recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School and a National Schools to Watch Middle School. There is great ethnic and financial diversity at this school, a true representation of the area we live in. Middle school aged students are interesting and want to test boundaries but they are still just little kids in bigger bodies. The teachers and staff truly support the students as they are in this hard period of adolescence.

I have a 7th grader and this school and we have been very pleased with the staff and campus. The teachers are very responsive to students and parents and the office staff/Principal seems very involved in the day to day lives of the students. The campus is well kept for how old it is and there seems to be an overall happiness among the students.

I looked at the reviews and felt these are incredibly inaccurate at this time. Complaining about students j- walking when itÂ’s not school time is the same as complaining about river park. School achieves realistic goals.

Worst school i have ever attended, was bullied by students, staff, and teachers

Kastner is said to be a really good school, however I find that the students are quite disrespectful when it comes to the other schools. When a group of their atheletes came to my school they bad-mouthed the students and teachers. I am fine about their school academics but they seriously need to start disiplining their students about being respectful.
