M L King Junior Lab Experimental School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2009-03-09 “King Lab has been deteriorating for years. It can't get and keep principals for more than a couple of years and the constant turnover has taken its toll. Staff morale is down, there is no consistency in extracurricular activities offered, and no follow-thru on district initiatives. The fact that, in general, D65 has a weak middle school curriculum doesn't help. It may be fine for elementary school but it's a K-8 school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-12-22 “We are very pleased with our experience so far at King Lab. We love our teacher and think the principal is doing a great job!” Posted By: student Quality Score: decline 2008-10-28 “the only reason why people think king lab is out of control is because some people that go there are out of control but that doesn't make the school a bad place , you cant judge the school based on what you heard thats not right.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-09-13 “Staff turnover seems to be the main complaint yet that is a fact at most schools. Furthermore, I believe that new staff can bring new, better ideas to a school. This year started with a new principal and assistant and is so far the best year yet at the school! My family has two kids in the school now and younger siblings headed there in the future. Only at a magnet can they spend so much time together at the same school and that is important to our family. Also, the arts curriculmn is strong in large part due to the support ($ and time) of the parents and staff - and not the district. All schools in Evanston are wonderful but in my opinion, KL is at the top of the list!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-10-29 “My son has been going to King Lab for 9 years. It has seen it's problems as far as discipline and coming and goings of the Principals and assistant Principals, but for the past 2 years since Mr. Rodgers has taken over and the assistant principal there have been so many major changes for the positive! It is under control, they have a hall monitor who keeps the kids out of the halls and in class, the discipline for miss behaving has come full circle and they do not have the problems that they use to. I have found that the teachers are excellent! They spend the time making sure you are up to date with your child's progress or not and try to find ways of rectifying any given situation. I would recommend this school highly!” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 3 2007-04-22 “This school has seen better days, and I believe that the administration has been a major part of it's downfall. The school is slipping out of control, and I no longer believe that it is any longer the best place to send your child in Evanston.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-04-09 “Great school. Great teachers and staff.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-11-12 “This is the first year my son has been here and although they tout parent involvement as something very important, I don't get that feeling. His teacher doesn't seem all that concerned about getting information out to me.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2004-11-13 “King Lab is an extroadinary school. This school has fantastic teachers that really teach your children well. The assistant principal is the best, but the principal stinks. I should know because I go to this school and I am in the 8th grade. I've been at this school since kindergarten. If this school had different principal, this would be the best school in the country. Be a good parent and send your kids to KL!” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2004-05-30 “I love going to King Lab. I'm glad I get to go to such a great school. The teachers are good. There are plenty of activities 4 your child to do. If you decide to send your child here, you won't regret it.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-03-20 “My children have had an extraordinary experience at king lab. The teachers and parents are united and dedicated. King lab has a wonderful arts program and an outstanding middle school math and science program. My oldest now attends the high school and has consistently had all honors classes in her first two years there. My youngest has had a solid experience as well. I really look forward to his middle school experience. King lab is devoted to providing the best inclusive environment for special needs kids.There is wonderful diversity that serves the kids and families well in preparing for high school and beyond. All of this at a public school that gets no extra funds! Thanks to a wonderful principal and assistant principal, pta and students, this is a school that works.”
