Kenwood High School

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!

My daughter goes to this school and I think they could be so much better but no one cares. The kids and parents are apathetic and some of the staff couldn't care less. I rarely see a parent. There are some very good teachers and some decent teachers and some not so much. Unfortunately, it seems like the good ones are always leaving almost as soon as they get here.

I love Kenwood because of the diversity we have within the school. Regardless of all the bad stuff the media has to say I think it's a great school and I'm VERY proud to go there and I'm going to be proud of being a khs graduate in May!

I went to Kenwood and I thought is was a great school. I went to other states in the USA like VA MA AL and I looked at the schools. They were not that good at all so I am glad that I was a graduate from Kenwood High.

People have so many wrong things to say about Kenwood, but don't judge without first hand experience. Kenwood, to me, is one of the best schools in its district. I have attended NWHS,CHS,RHS, and Kenwood.

I loved this school some of the stuff people had to say about it are wrong Kenwood High School is a great school. The principals and teacher were there when you needed help.

I'd like to say that kenwood is an ideal schoolastic environment, but that would be a severe oversight on my part. True, though, as it may be, that Kenwood needs to make changes it also has a very different 'feel' than most of the other CMCSS schools. Some of the staff is a little bothersome and may be a little out of sorts. But where will you find a placethat doesn't have a few of them. I must say that I have been met with nothing but love and great care by my teachers. They'll go out on a limb for you, they'll push you, they'll get you to push yourself. I have never met more wonderful adults in my life. The school itself is diverse and blended and the tension experienced in other schools due to economy is virtually absent. KHS is like home; warm and protective.

I am a student at Kenwood High School and I was reading this and I was appauled at some of you all have to say. For one, the principals are everywhere. We have 4 principals, atleast one of them comes to every game, they walk around in lunch, and come into classes to observe. I personally love KHS it has got to be one of the greatest schools. It is very diverse and accepting.The teachers are great and very understanding and are there to really help us.

I taught at KHS for several years and moved to another city when I realized I wouldn't want my own kids there. There were many teachers there for whom I have great respect. There was little parent involvement. There were many activities for students, but students are mostly apathetic. KHS maintains strong wrestling, track and field, and cross-country teams, and has an uprising football team. There is a variety of academic programs available, and the technology is favorable. Other than the last 2, my years there were positive. Bottom line, the community isn't a good one to raise kids.
