I’m the Yale-educated parent of an an incoming freshman who also went to Kenwood for middle school. She previously attended a private elementary school. We made the choice to send her to Kenwood despite the vague concern of some neighbors. We’ve been very pleased. Our daughter is well-challenged academically, has made a wide range of friends and has been encouraged to pursue leadership opportunities. The academic and performing arts programs are top-drawer. Clubs and athletics are heavily subscribed. Skilled teachers, caring staff and responsive administrators make this possible. I can proudly recommend Kenwood to my fellow Hyde Parkers. It’s got a lot going for it. Be sure to attend the open house.
The school’s quality of education is immaculate! However, the value the staff (from the principle to the counselors, to the teachers) placed on image rather than the care and inclusiveness of ALL of their students is something I had an issue with as a student. There seemed to be more value placed on how many scholarships students could win, how prestigious the school looked looked, and how well the students carried themselves compared to other schools in the area. Nonetheless, I got a great education and it’s in a great neighborhood. As a student, you just better have tough skin and be competitive.
My daughter is completing her 2nd year in the academic center. I could not be more pleased with her academic and personal growth. Her teachers have been phenomenal, providing thought provoking assignments that not only prepare her for college (in the 7th and 8th grade), but have helped foster a sense of social conscience. I have a BS in Biological Engineering from the University of Maryland and completed medical school and a surgical residency at Rush; yet, I’m amazed at the caliber of work my daughter is assigned. Kenwood is preparing her to be a successful and compassionate leader.
