Kenbrook Elementary School serves kindergarten through fifth graders with a curriculum that produces "reflective problem solvers and lifelong learners." Established in 1957, the Kenbrook Elementary School has been a part of the Farmington Hills Community for over 65 years. Students study mathematics, science, social studies, science and the English language arts. Working to close learning gaps, Kenbrook Elementary teachers work in small student groups and use fiction and non-fiction mini-lessons to improve students' reading comprehension. Math Recovery programs identify subjects that students need interventional assistance with, and students are equipped with the latest technology to encourage 21st-century competency. Fostering students' emotional and social wellbeing, Kenbrook Elementary School hosts "Community Circles," a lesson forum where students review positive behavior, a growth mindset and how to build character and support others. Extracurricular activities and clubs at Kenbrook Elementary expand students' horizons. The Kenbrook Elementary Green Team built a student garden, winning "Emerald Status" for their efforts and commitment to the environment. The Reflections Fine Arts Contest sponsored by the PTA invites Kenbrook students to channel their creativity and talents, and the Kenbrook Elementary School library boasts a student-established social justice and diversity section. The Kenbrook Elementary School inspires its Koalas climb higher.

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.
