School Reviews
1 4/28/2021
My son was a student at KAPS in the 2020/2021 school year. The classes were chaotic and disorganized, and the staff seemed technologically incompetent. The administration didn't respond to our issues, mis-communicated deadlines and requirements, and lost our grades. The experience was stressful and confusing, and the quality of the education was very low. I would highly discourage anyone from attending this school.
