"This is a great school, as a student un 7th grade I know what it is like being a new 6th grader, most students are scared or a bit nervous, but Kinard is like a family, we all support or challenge eachother, Kinard is a safe enviorment to be yourself and excel in what you do best, I am in all honors classes and Algebra and I dont feel pressured at all, we are rarley given busy work and all our work helps us with the skills we are learning, even in the individual classes, you can be challeged or supported, theh teachers are there to help you succed and become the best student you can be, there are many oppurtunities to go out of the classroom and learn more by doing hands-on activites. Kinard is not a stuck-up school, once you see what happens in our community you realize that we are like a huge family and that we support everyone that comes in. Kinard is a school that challenges you academically, socially, mentaly, and helps you along the way. This school more than prepares you for highschool and gives you great skills that you can use in life! Come to Kianrd and experiance the great oppurtunities and loving family!"

"Its the best school ever! It beats all the other middle schools in this area. Preston, Webber, Blevins, and Boltz don't march this amazing school! It also is able to make people happy and laugh. I will never have a middle school like this one."

"Kinard is an amazing school! As a student who recently just finished 6th grade, I can say that I really enjoyed all my classes and teachers! It is not true that teachers do not go out of their way to help kids because all of them are so helpful! If you ever have a problem, they are willing to encourage as will as help you! The discipline at this school is not extremely enforced but it's still there. The teachers will still enforce rules. Don't judge Kinard just because everyone thinks we are so gifted and wealthy! We are like all average students and even though some students there are wealthier than me, I don't find it affecting me or my learning. Send your kid to Kinard and I promise you will find it a success!"

"I have very mixed feelings about Kinard. The kids and the teachers are all nice, the test scores are great, there are a lot of extracurriculars available, parents are involved... There is a lot to like. On the other hand, having had children attend other local middle schools, I am left with the impression that the high test scores at Kinard are largely a product of drill and not depth or creativity. The focus on memorization, sentence diagramming, etc. hits very much on my child's weakest areas. In some ways that is good -- forcing focus on something that would otherwise be weaker. In some ways it is not -- not developing real strengths in abstract reasoning. My older children who attend the high school Kinard feeds into have noticed much of the same: the kids who came there from Kinard are some of the weaker students in the pre-AP classes in terms of depth of thought and synthesizing material not just repeating rote learned information. There are some good teachers at Kinard, though, who hopefully will have more to offer than drill as my child progresses through middle school."

"As a student at this school, I have one thing to say, excellent. You can't walk down the hallways without noticing how nice and helpful the teachers are, no matter how difficult or big the problem is. The principal is great, always knowing how to talk to and control the kids. When it comes to testing, its hard not to like the scores. So basically to sum it up, if you want to find a great school, look no further"
