GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The best part about my years at Kenwood Highschool would be the teachers that help motivate you and help push you above and beyond what you think your limits are not, not only that but also being a good role model for guiding the students to success. There would not necessarily be a worse part in my experience here other than the safety scares. Most of things I have changed have already been changed at the school, for example hall sweeps were required.

My experience at kenwood high school was not your typical high school experience but it still falls under a good experience i loved my teachers and i miss it overall it's just personal because i wished i did a lot more and created tons of memories but it was a good school for me. I had some good and bad times there but nevertheless did i not like it i made a lot of bad decisions regarding to my education even failed a few classes, but i lived and made it through now im out and going into college just wishing i could've did so much even to making more friends. But i can say kenwood had its up and downs things i would want to see change from kenwood is just the cleanliness a lot of the staircase were filled with food but other than that im glad to have went there and i wish i can do it all over again.

I love learning all subjects, even though mathematics is my weakest subject, and I used to love going to this school. Ever since Kenwood High School's former principal, Mr. Paul Martin, left the school many of the teachers are far too out of line. I take all honors classes plus two advanced placemen...
