"Teachers are great"

"Both of my boys went to school here 2008 to 2016. Wonderful staff, caring teachers and administrators. Of course there were ups and downs, but overall I think the staff did a great job with decreasing budgets and new education initiatives."

"I wish you felt the same as the previous person who left the last review. My family been at Kennedy for the last several years . Starting with the very first principle we had Mr Campbell who was amazing. unfortunately sense Mr Campbell has left in my opinion the school is taking a great turn for the worst. The school grounds have been had a number issues with ammunition /bullets etc being left on the grounds. Now don't get me wrong they do clean it up. Just weird that it's going on for a number of years in the never found the person who does it. Along with education not be done the same as it used to be. My first child walked out of the schools doing amazing. again that's when Mr Campbell was in effect. My second child and fortunately is not doing very well and has continued to struggle through the school with no help from the school besides summer school being offered. the classrooms are way overcrowded. Unfortunately when you have that you need more help to the long to help them children. I don't see that as much as a parent would hope. Along with a have big issues with bullying I'm not the only parent has said this I have spoke with many parents there whose children also struggle with being bullied at school. and the principal takin no real responsible actions stopping it. I know my own child we had serious issues with a young lady to the point the girl had been physical so many times to that my child had teethmarks in her stomach from the girl for 3 months from the girl biting her so hard right through her jacket her shirt and drew blood. Well my child was on the playground on the monkey bars. At this point when my child receive the break in the skin along with scars on stomach from the bite. ( Which was not the first time the child had bit my child) we had been in contact with the school numerous of times previous because this child was being so physically aggressive. you think they could protect your child especially when they were aware of the situation has consistently been taking place. It took me as a parent to threaten to have the police finally involved to has the school finally we take action to protect my child. There's many more issues these are just a few I think people should be aware of. Know where you're sending your kids to school. I don't understand why the school has taking such a declined in a short number of years. When we started with them it was a great school. I as a parent at this point after being with them that school for 9 years at this point do not think that any way anymore. I used to recommend them to parents when they would ask about school I no longer can do that I feel. Hopefully you guys have better experiences we have been having"
