Kenwood Highschool has gone downhill. The Principal does not know how to effectively do testing schedules, and the admin make a mess out of event planning on the calendar. The Kids are more disrespectful then the usual at a normal highschool and violence is often normal here. Fights break out very often sometimes over the smallest things. Its not a safe environment and quite frankly the school needs a whole new admin team or for CMCSS to do something.

A Plus side however is how they handle students with special needs. The students won't respect each other or teachers but they dont bully or make fun of the kids who might need special help. Well at least not to their face. Although the school handles special needs well and does their best at making adjustments to further their education, the schools environment ruins it. As their are almost no role models in this school.

If you are interested in this school based off of athletics, the bowling team has had a better 2024 season then most other sports. During a basketball game people had to be escorted out. the schools athletics are not as impressive as they would make you love to believe. Most of the trophies in the display case are from about 10-30 years ago.

The teachers are certified and qualified to be teaching however the school does not make their job easy with the Odd student distribution among classes. A Teacher has a class with 5 students while her other period is full with about 30 students. The class sizes are not huge and even if they do get large, there's a good chance at least 5 wont show up on any given day.

Back to the topic of the principal, if you want someone who knows what they are doing then this is not the school for your child or you. Often teachers are confused by his actions or are annoyed by his lack of critical thinking, or some of his ideas. More often than not he doesn't quite think things through. Through some of his recent actions he is suspected to also have a gender bias. He held a meeting with just the fathers then scheduled a meeting for the mothers on a day where all the mothers would be busy (Valentines Day). Its not confirmed but suspected.

It’s not that bad honestly, I mean the teachers and staff (most of them) are pleasant and helpful the only issue really is the kids some are really disrespectful and difficult but that’s rare. I personally like the school, a lot of the clubs are really fun and there isn’t a lot of bullying.

Aside from the usual teenage agnst, it was a pretty ok experience. The students had a respect for each other and usually the teachers. It was the 1st school in the county to start the stem program. It gets a bad rep because most of the students are low income.

I'm a student of Kenwood and despite what the media says, Kenwood is an amazing school. If you feel the need to judge the school, take a walk though it. See the loving people. Everyone is a family. Kenwood has great teachers and they really help you if you have a problem or even need something. The school is just great it's self. The STEM academy is great because it gives you a chance to fulfill what you want to so one day with hands on stuff, and critical thinking skills. I may only have been here one year cause I'm a sophomore but I'm having a great time at this school. It's a great school and I wouldn't change a think about it. :)

This school is awful and I am concerned about my child being able to get the knowledge she needs for college!! The teachers have such disruptive students that they don't have time to teach cause they are disrupted all the time. Something needs to be done about the numerous amounts of miss behaved students.

My son went to kindergarten here last year and it was not parent friendly at all. Parents are not allowed in the classrroom. We can only go to the caferteria to see our children. My son was having son dislpine problems but all I was ever told was that it was normal and never allowed to see what was happening in the classroom. As for the office staff they are unhelpful and often rude. I emailed the principle several time, and she responded back back but never told other in the office that I was coming in so when I arrived she was out of the office and no one knew about my situation to help out.

I am in the STEM Academy at Kenwood High. The teachers there are amazing. They answer all your questions and are open for discussion. I am proud of my school. I have and older brother and sister who graduated quite some time ago, but they only said that it was a good school. The principal is really nice, and is fun to talk to. Despite what all the media says about Kenwood, we actually have some of the top scores in our county. Several of our academic teams have competed and placed high at the national level. I love this school and hope you will too!
