I would especially like to welcome all of our new students and their families into our Kilmer school family, including our newest students in Pre-K and in our Highly Specialized Strand for children with special needs.

Our school has two buildings that are located two miles apart in West Roxbury, the southwestern-most neighborhood of Boston.  We have an enrollment of approximately 460 students in grades Pre-K through eight. 

Our utmost goal is to provide your child with a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment in which to learn and grow.  If you feel that we can make your child’s school experience better, we would like for you to let us know.  I also invite you to participate in your child’s education in whatever way you can.  There are a number of ways to do this, both at the school and at home.  
 
Finally, I hope you will keep returning to this website, which will be frequently updated with school and district information and resources to help your child have a successful school year.  On behalf of the Joyce Kilmer K-8 School Staff, I look forward to a great year of wonder, curiosity, and learning!

At the recent High School Choices Night at the Kilmer, Assistant Principal Jenna Cramer presented information about the Kilmer 8th Grade 2011 MCAS scores.  These numbers showed Kilmer scores ranking quite high within BPS (including Exam Schools), and on par with neighboring districts such as Newton and Brookline.  Here are the numbers.  Congratulations to our students and their teachers.
