Well, Kennedy has always been the place for me. In middle school, they helped me through my education gaps and thanks to their small class size I got all the attention I needed for my ADHD and anything I was having trouble with. The teachers there have always been some of the bests I have ever known.

The teachers at the Kennedy learning center are over all okay. There are some teachers that care a bit more than other teachers. The majority of teachers use technology as a teaching method.
