Ken-O-Sha Park Elementary is located in the southeast side of Grand Rapids adjacent to the Ken-O-Sha Park and nature trail. Our scholars, families, and neighbors have fond memories of our annual Duck Walk and the wildlife that can be found around our school.

In our school and the surrounding Ken-O-Sha Park, our culturally diverse scholars have the opportunity to participate in hands-on learning. The park serves as a natural classroom where scholars learn about native prairie plants, the Plaster Creek Watershed, and animals that inhabit the area. This learning continues inside of the classroom, where scholars experience an academic curriculum that provides the foundation they need to be successful at the next level. At Ken-O-Sha our scholars continue to show growth on math and reading achievement tests. We attribute this growth to not only our rigorous curriculum, but also to the opportunities our scholars have to learn in a hands-on, real-world setting. We are proud of our school and community, and we continue to strive for excellence in all that we do.
