My student was in special education and recieved wonderful services from a great staff. The campus was very inviting when we transfered in and was til graduation last year. The admin is very supportive and the amount of school spirit is amazing among the students. Really glad we chose Kennedy.

This school is horrible. Our autistic child went here for a short time. We had been working on a goal of having him self advocate. One day when he was having a bad day he went to the office to call home. It was a big achievement for him to be able to get the words out while distressed. The office people were rude with him and refused to allow him to call home, despite this being an accommodation that was written in his IEP. That they had been made aware of. The principal when informed saw no problem with this.Children are generally treated with contempt in this school. When you leave and go to new school you really see what it should be like, where adults can just operate with common decency, respect and as though they don’t hate their job and the children they are around.Many good staff have left under the current principal. The amount of physical fighting and aggression in the playground is frightening but not surprising given how the adults in this school behave. Avoid this school if you can. Children deserve better.

I will say the support from this school, principal vice principal through the online portals of accountability is very high and they go out of their way to make sure your children succeed!! as well as the security of the school extinguishing fires before they become dangerous is to make a parent feel comfortable. All three of my children have been in the school over the years. And it’s also on the parents of your child success of how much involvement you have it’s teamwork between the school and parents and child.
