I was at Kirkland junior high for the full three years, and I absolutely loved it. Most of the teachers are nice, and care about if you understand what you're supposed to be learning. There is tons of school spirit there, and the teachers try to relate to teenage problems as much as they can. I really enjoyed my years there as a Panther.

This school provides very much unneccesary drama ! Too much of it I think. I agree the girls are very judgemental and not easy to make friends with. You have to dress in top designer clothes for people to talk to you. Without the drama, it would be a good school.

The school's teachers are rather incompetent, and my daughter rarely has homework. They raise you up from the start to assume you are going to LWHS after 9th grade, so if you plan on moving, you're in a bad situation. The student's are incredibly judgemental and it's ridiculously hard to make friends here (in my daughter's words, 'its as if they have nothing better to do than sit around and backbite all day. They never want to make friends with anyone they havent known since kindergarten. It's too much of a close-knit community.') . Same goes for the Kirkland community in general. Avoid this place.

I am a student at Kirkland Junior High. I dislike this school very much, teachers really do not seem to care whether you pass or fail. Every student for themselves. The students are judgemental and I've had enough of this school. Many of my friends feel the same way, and all of us cannot wait to get out of this school, like I will be at the begining of 9th. Since I want to be prepared for High School, I want to go to a good school, which would provide me with the proper education. Which I know Kirkland Jr High will not.

My child's first half of the school year has exceeded my expectations. I could not have wished for better teachers or principal.
