We have been incredibly impressed with the staff, campus, class sizes and advisor program at KO. It's a worthy investment for those wanting a small private day school feel. The athletics may not be AS competitive as other schools but it appears the school is working toward building up the athletic programs to attract top talent.

KO has given my kids opportunities they would not have had at our public school and likely at bigger private schools that have boarders. They've had the chance to play varsity level sports, participate in clubs and community events during the school day, get individualized help when they hit a bump in the road and they excel having smaller class sizes. We have experienced the upper school and the middle school and both have been a great fit.

I recall being humiliated in the dining hall by the head of the table (one of the teachers) who yelled at me for picking up chicken and eating it with my hands. I was also mortif...

Some teachers excellent, but many are mediocre. It becomes a very small and clique-y pond very quickly. Facility is so-so compared with other private schools. College advising is AWFUL; my adviser could not answer any of my basic questions. KO heavily recruits kids from China who pay full tuition, b...

Kingswood Oxford School; The faculty, staff and administration at KO are experts in teaching students how to reach their fullest potential as an individual and a student while simultaneously teaching them the value of being an integral part of a community. The day school atmosphere allows families t...
