This school is terrible, it needs a new update, where are the inspections people when we need them. There are rats and roaches, and spiders and what not in the school, they feed us raw meat and mostly uncooked jail food. They don't even deserve one star. The principal acts like people don't have bladders every now and then and that we don't stay hydrated. They overreact over hoods when you can clearly see our faces, they won't let us have our phones in the cafeteria when we're JUST EATING. The ceiling is literally falling apart, we have mice in classrooms. The teacher are mean and give attitude, the children are disrespectful.
This school needs to collapse one day and never come back.

the school is better then southwest by a mile, because there are way less shenanigans. BUT, its not without it's flaws. i get tortured by other kids every time i go to the bathroom, and its not like the STAFF cares, they just find a easy loophole by having us go to the nurses bathroom. which is really embarrassing. we don't even have toilet paper! also, the school has a cockroach problem. it also potentially might have mold, due to a stain in some of the ceilings. however, other then then the safety concerns, this school is a little above average. not great, but not bad either.

The school feels like a prison when entering. The school is overcrowded and dangerous. The limited selection of students who are learning called 'Honor students' are put outside in trailers most likely for safety reasons. Bullying is a major issue at this school. The administration and teachers provide no help to bullied students and will blame the victim. The teacher's attendance is awful. The magnet program needs to be removed. The magnet programs courses like robotics are not being really taught. Children are unmonitored and fight every day. There are no special events like dances, field trips, or family events.

My daughter was a target of verbal bullying in the classroom, and the teacher and counselors dealt with it quickly and effectively.

We have been very happy to have our child in the STEM magnet at Kennedy Middle School. She has been exposed to so many extra curricular opportunities that she just can't do them all. This is a great school for anyone interested in a STEM program.

The implementation of personalized learning blocks allows the students to manage their time most effectively to work on homework during the day. Students develop study strategies and learn to prioritize their assignments.

The principal and leadership team hire well. With the implementation of a STEM magnet, most of the faculty go above and beyond to ensure that STEM theme pulls through to all classes.

Principal Sudimack is dedicated to middle school education based on his own experiences, and it really shows in his interactions with students and parents.

My school is Kennedy middle school. I really like this school I went here in 6th and left in 7th but now I am back in 8th. This school has a great deal of people who actually care for you. There is some bullying but every school has bullying. The new principal Mr.Sudimack is very strict when it comes to learning. It is kind of stupid how the spilt us up in 2 schools like Duke and Unc. But overall i really love this school. WHAT SCHOOL YOU FROM K-DUB, K-DUB. Wapiti pride all day.

Great School!!! Moved here recently from Orlando, FL. and have been very impressed by Charllotte, especially the schools. We live in the Streele Creek area, and my daughter is currently in Honors classes at Kennedy Middle School. She has had the opportunity to be in the Academic Scholars program the first year that she started, which is something that was not easy to be recognized for in a large city like Orlando. She has told us how much she enjoys her school and friends. She loves her Art & PE classes, and enjoys other extra-curriculum activity's such as Drama Club. We have been very pleased on how challenging her classes are, and the fact that the school has a Uniform Policy. The new Principle, Mr. Sudimack, has done a terrific job in implementing new school policy's and procedures. We have seen our daughter thrive in school since the beginning of the school year, and highly recommend this school to anyone who is also joining us from out of state.

Kennedy is an awesome school. I am in the 8th grade, and I have had a great time at KMS. We got a new principle this year and he has made a lot of positive changes to the school. There are hardly any fights anymore, because Mr. Sudimack doesn't play. There is a lot more clubs and a new art elective which I can't wait to take next year. I can be more focused on learning than last year because there is not so much trouble makers anymore, and it has helped my grades get better too.

My son is sixth grader at KMS and absolutely loves his school. The teachers, administration, and support staff have done a terrific job in helping kids feel safe and secure. The school has a uniform policy which I think is great!!! KMS also has a zero tolerance policy for bullying and the teachers and counselors have an open door policy. The school has academically challenged our son to succeed everyday in school, and teachers willingly provide extra tutoring before and after school, and even on weekends for those who commute by bus! The school offers the opportunity for students to enjoy various clubs, sports and PTA sponsored events. The transition to middle school has been a very smooth and enjoyable one for our son and we are very happy to be a part of this school!
