I am very happy with our experience at Kenwood. We switched our oldest child from another local elementary to Kenwood and have had a wonderful 4 years. Looking forward to next year for 5th grade and can`t wait to see our daughters there, when they are of age. Every teacher our son has had are all fantastic, available, sincere educators. They have addressed any and every concern that`s come up. Our son has flourished in every category from social to academic. The principal is outstanding. He is consistent, reliable, and very positive force of kindness for Kenwood Elementary school. He is a true advocate for the best interest of every child. Our family loves Kenwood! My husband attended as a child and enjoys seeing our kids there now, with some of the same teachers he had. Very good school.
