At Kincaid Elementary School, kindness matters. It’s included in the school’s mission statement. Teachers and staff work to create an environment that emphasizes kindness and celebrates students’ gifts and talents. Even the school’s mascot, the Kind Coyotes, embodies this spirit. Kincaid Elementary School also provides a solid educational program to students in kindergarten through sixth grade. Learning is centered around the specific developmental needs of each student. Kincaid Elementary School provides opportunities for parents and students to be involved with the school and the Sand Lake community. The school has an active PTA and encourages parent participation in events like the annual Coyote Classic and field days. Students can help plant, maintain and harvest a variety of fruits and veggies at the school’s on-site garden. Students and parents can also volunteer to maintain the community gardens located at the nearby Four Corners. Outside the classroom, Kincaid Elementary School has a large playground full of swings, slides and swinging bars, making it popular with students and neighborhood kids. A smaller playground was renovated to make it accessible for all students, with rubber tile flooring, a large platform swing and a ramped structure for children with mobility issues.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

If you have a special needs child and want the peace of mind your child is safe, I do not recommend this school. If you have a child that is any way different from what the school believes all kids should be, I do not recommend this school. Horrible principle.

This was once a wonderful school but the past 3 yrs under a new principal it has drastically declined. Staff are leaving and parents have stopped volunteering. Tragic. And the district is not listening to either parents or the staff about it.
