School Reviews
2 1/20/2020
Kennedy isn't one of the best middle schools in griffin, but it could be a lot worse. Some teachers aren't wheeling to work with the kids to help them achieve better grades, and other work a way too much with subjects they don't even teach to help other kids get the grades they would like .
