I have had nothing but wonderful interactions with my Daughter's teachers. She started pre-K at 3 years old. She has been going for 2 years. Both the teachers she's had have been amazing and very caring. She has made such amazing progress. She loves school and the teachers she's had, as well as all the support staff, para educators and the special needs teachers. Her speech has improved so much. She speaks as well as any 5 year old. The staff has even recommended her IEP be discontinued. So she will not need to carry it over to Kindergarten. So far, I have nothing negative to say about Kennedy. I hope it stays that way.

Very disappointed in this school. With the constant lice outbreaks, the fact people come and go as they please without signing in, and now two gas leaks in one school year. The principal don't seem to care about the children and is more in turned to the early childhood children. I've talked to many...
