Kenmoor Middle School

terrible place to be at in all times of the day

Two of my children have flourished at Kenmoor. One is excelling in the IB program at Parkdale and the other is excited to start at Roosevelt next year. The TAG program has fantastic teachers and the school/PTA are engaged with parents. We've been very happy with the school.

I currently have two sons at Kenmoor (an 8th grader and 7th grader) and a soon to be 6th grader. We have been very pleased with the Talented and Gifted Program at KMS. The teachers are outstanding, the staff shows they care about the school and the students, and my sons are generally happy (as happy as any middle schooler would be about going to school, right?). Teachers are responsive and engaging and genuinely care about the students and their personal and academic success. We are excited about the new school building opening up next school year! That will boost anyone’s mood coming from the old building. KMS is diverse and multi-cultured and the school celebrates it, which is great. They have after-school clubs, but they aren’t well marketed or communicated, but overall the general communication has improved over the years. Overall, we’ve been happy with KMS.

Ni hay bus para el arra donde vive mi hijo , considero necesario este servicio , pues trabajo y no puedo llevarlo personalmente a la escuela, es muy difícil encontrar transporte para él

My personal experience has been a wonderful experience with my interactions with students and staff. The teachers never have a problem with me sitting in on a class or taking the time to speak to me about my child. The office staff, as busy as they get, are very supportive of parents, and parent concerns and work with the parents on various activities all designed to give the students the best experience. As a parent, part of my experiences revolve around my child's experience and the ability to differentiate between problems at school versus expected problems of a pre-teen. For the most part my child has had positive experiences and any complaints that I felt needed the attention of school officials, I brought up and they were addressed. As with most educational institutions and with the rotation in and out of students and parents (and associated personalities), there are always areas of improvement. But I am beyond satisfied with my choice of Kenmoor Middle School and believe my daughter is benefiting as a student.
