Kennedy Middle School

Such an amazing environment with staff that literally treat you like their own kids. I have never felt safer in any school than I do here at Roosevelt. Roosevelt gave me a new start when I truly felt hopeless and like a failure. The staff raises you up, and the principal (and vice principal) are two of the sweetest people in the whole world. It is truly an honor to be allowed to go to this school. I seriously recommend it as a current (2025-2026 SY) student there. I'll be sad to graduate and leave the staff behind when I do, but also honored that I was given a second chance to be allowed to graduate.

As a parent, finding the right school for your child is a huge decision, and unfortunately, our experience with Berean wasn't a good fit for our family. One of the biggest issues was the lack of an adjustment period for preschoolers. Starting school is a big transition, and the school didn’t seem to offer any support for kids to ease into the new environment, which was tough on my son.Another concern was the school's inflexibility and high expectations. It felt like they expected perfection right away, without providing the necessary support to help students get there. This created a stressful environment for the children, and it seemed like there was little room for kids to learn and grow at their own pace.Finally, there were instances where students were dismissed from the school without a clear or justifiable reason. This lack of transparency and the seemingly arbitrary nature of these decisions were unsettling. Overall, our experience with Berean was disappointing, and I would caution other parents to carefully consider whether this school's approach aligns with their child's needs.
