Kennedy is a great school. The teachers are great and really want you to succeed. The teachers stay after school if you ask them for extra help which I really appreciate since I'm taking physics and pre calc this year. Overall good school.

We sent all of our children to Kennedy, our youngest now a senior. My husband and I wanted a Catholic school environment for them. It was very important to us for them to be challenged academically. We are very pleased that Kennedy Catholic met both of these goals. The school is so much more. We, and our children, have made life long friends here.

Our son chose to attend St. Mary's Academy for 6th grade as our local public school did not meet his learning needs. The environment, structure, curriculum and educators have made a world of difference for his transition into Middle School. He comes home every day happy and is eager to get off to sc...
