My son was there from 2nd grade to 5th grade and many incidents with teachers yelling and disrespecting students have occurred and much bullying.

Our daughter, who is finishing 5th grade, has been at Kincaid since kindergarten. Overall, she's had a great experience - and loves the community. She's in the Target program - it's just too bad that Target is only offered 1 day a week. And she's had a couple of standout teachers - one of which is the school's music teacher. He's amazing. And her 3rd grade teacher had a fantastic, intensive writing program. They offer great extracurricular activities like robotics, chess club, chorus and science olympiad.
