Trash. Just no. First, the students are so rude and just bully you? Oh yeah? the school does nothing about it. They don't care. All the staff are rude. The food is nasty, and has made my mental health so much worse. I can't stand this school anymore. My mom wont do anything about it, but this school sucks.

This school sucks bro... like it legit sucks. I've gotten bullied by this girl and I have to deal with kids annoying me all the time. I was called names And I told my mom and the centerstone lady what had been happening and my mom had enough and enrolled me into online school. I'm so glad that I dont have to worry about going to this school anymore. Also I definitely don't recommend this school.

I don't think people understand how bad this school is, the food is rotten and the building is falling apart. We can get anything done because the administrated staff have clear favorites and won't give proper punishment.We have no funds and the school spends it on sports teams and school activities instead of helping the class rooms, and the kids here can see and feel this consequences. It shouldn't be a childs responsibility to worry about if the school they go to is distributing funds fairly.
The kids see these problems and are giving up, our curriculum is outdated and the people who are supposed to help us with your mental health shame us and keep us quiet because they could be a damage of the non-existent school morale. They send money on expensive and emotionally draining school assembly of every Friday for the house system that just makes more problems for the students.

This school has been a blessing for us and our child. The school prior to this never followed my sons IEP and created behavioral challenges due to it. By the time we left there he lost his love for school and made to feel like he was worthless and a trouble maker. I was very concerned putting him back into a public school but I am so happy I did. He has blossomed academically and socially. The staff genuinely care about the individual child and give students ample opportunities to seek help when needed. They also offer plenty of after school clubs and sports. More than Ive seen any middle school previously offer. I cant recommend this school more.

This school has some great teachers, too bad they can't seem to keep them around very long. I blame this on some of the Vice principals being very unsupportive. Ms Walker, the eighth grade vice principal, is horrible and plays favorites with the kids and rarely backs up her teachers. Is it a wonder most of my child's teachers transferred to different schools this year or got out of teaching? If you are in the military and value your kids education, move to South Clarksville and go to Rossview or Sango. The new principal at Kenwood is nice, but he is young. Until someone cleans out the worthless vice principals like Walker, discipline will never improve and the students will suffer.

As a parent who regularly volunteers here, I must say that I am impressed. Everyone gave me the, "I'm sorry" face when I said that my kid is going to Kenwood Middle. The administration, staff, and teachers have all been fantastic. They are patient, kind and want to see the students happy and excelling. I love the positive behavior program they have begun this year. Thank you to Ms. Martinez, Mr. Higley, Mr. Wilson and all of those at Kenwood Middle for helping through this fun and crazy transition from elementary school.

Glad my child no longer goes to this school! so much bullying going on and none of the staff cares. teachers were okay, but they never kept the parents up to date on anything.

Very oblivious the bullying issues they have in this school. I get told every time they need more proof. Well I now have a child afraid to go to school from fear of being jumped. He has been hit on the back of the neck , shoved into the table at lunch , etc. He does not react and tries to walk away and tell but gets told by a teacher well I did not see I can not do anything about. UMM address it. Mrs.Martinez or however you spell it , told us to expect our son to get bullied. No I expect you to do your job.We are looking into getting him into a new school and hopefully we can. Then I am taking all my documented emails and such to the to the media over this crooked school. Very big problem with racism here as well from students. I am over kenwood elem. It is a joke. I will say Mrs. Mcdaniel is a great teacher as is mrs.goder. Mrs overdorf as well. Yancey not so much.

Lots and lots of discipline issues. Every day I hear swear words, profanity, and disrespectful students. The teachers are the only thing keeping me from going insane. The stuff isn't very hard, and I can breeze by with nothing lower than an A. Pathetic. - An 8th Grade Student

My daughter loves this school she has made a lot of friends. Her grades have improved also with the help of those wondefull teachers. This school is not racist and it doesn't have any behavior issues because two of my sons have gone from KWMS to KWHS and had never complained.

I have had two students who went to this school and it is a great school. They have advanced classes, a great athletic program and after school tutoring if needed. Whenever there are issues that need to be addressed, the principal has an ear to hear what you have to say and seeks to solve the issues on the spot.

I think this is an amazing school, they have some really bright students that are going to be very successful in life.
