This school exceeds any school in Kenosha! They are training our children to be future leaders in STEM .Of course nothing is perfect but it is by far the best in the area in curriculum!

Please, if you have a child who struggles in school, DO NOT send them to this school! My child, who has a 504 plan, has had an absolutely awful experience at this school. He has been made to feel ashamed about his academic struggles instead of supported. His teachers have placed blame upon him for his failing grades - his homework has ALWAYS been completed, his attendance is great and he has no behavior issues. Instead of helping my child, they have made him feel powerless and shameful in regards to his academic abilities. When we, as parents, would ask for material to help support at home - we did not even get a reply (this school has a terrible reputation for unanswered emails and phone calls). It has become very clear that KTEC is more concerned about their test scores than making a difference in a student's life. When we had team meetings, the administrator told stories about her child who struggled in school. I would constantly redirect the meeting back to the focus on my child. The 504 was not followed and when questioned, teachers responded in a defensive manner. I could go on and on. Save your child the heartache and blows to their self esteem and send them to another school.

Good teachers, a great admin, and a lot of caring for kids as individuals, not 'one size fits all'

I was so happy and relieved to get my kids in this school so the thought of possibly having to move them out of this school is really hard. My kids love the teachers, I love the challenges they give them. This is a school you can feel comfortable knowing they are in good hands.

I recently graduated from this "school", and I am so thankful that I no longer go here. I am in high school right now, and I do not feel prepared at all. I was treated like a kindergartner here, and now I'm treated as a freshman, and there are multiple responsibilities. I manage to keep up with them, however it is an extreme struggle to do that. I wish I had gone to regular middle school. I wasted 7 years of my life that I will never get back at this school. They claim to teach things that are not available at other schools, when that is a complete lie. Parents, if you want your kids to be miserable, then send them here.

If I could give this school a 0 star rating, I would give that in a heartbeat. It's not the teachers that are bad, its the way the school is set up and the administration that make it a bad school. They are way too unfair and strict on students here. I'm not even sure any students in the upper grades (6-8) like this school at all. They are not proud with the fact they go here. Whenever a student gets "in trouble", when they try to state their case, they consider it "talking back". And for one teacher, if they ask what you are doing, when you try to say, they interrupt you and say "I don't want to hear it". One time a student tried to say how he thought a 27 page story with small print to read was an unfair punishment, and the person took away his right to sports day and gave him a referral for "being rude and talking back". He was not at all talking back, he was simply sharing his thoughts. I am so happy that I no longer go to this school. I will never recommend this school to anyone. And the fact that they are opening a second campus is even worse, since more children will be subject to this awful school.

My son started at KTEC the first year it opened. He was in 2nd Grade. In the past seven years, he has learned so much about the 21st Century world. While he gets to use special technology like LEGO Robotics and Project Lead the Way, he has also learned how to use today's skills in all his school subjects. For example: creating websites to present history reports, using apps for note taking and organization, and learning how to use the same online subscription services that he will be exposed to in higher education. He is building skills that will make him a highly sought after employee and a responsible global citizen.

KTEC is a charter school with a focus on 21st Century skills and STEM which is evident through Project Lead the Way and Legos. It is a great community for learning.

This school did not offer anything more advanced then other schools. The use of technology at this school is the same that other schools offer. Sadly I felt the students are more aggressive here then at our regular school. The principle feels that a child need to learn how to "deal with it!" What a wasted year here!!
