They almost arrested this student in our school because of an AI security system! I am beyond disappointed of the safety of this school.

The teachers I've come across has been the best experience, but the overall safety of the school is bad. I don't feel safe in Kenwood most of the time because of past incidents. I wish there would be some way to improve this.

The best part about going to school here is all of my friends. I get to see them as much as I can, and catch up with them. The worst part is the lack of feeling safe during a lockdown. I get extremely anxious during that time.

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...
