“Though this school does have some good points, staff, and students, I find that the majority feel of the school is low. Some of the students don't know how to talk with respect or keep 'dirty' thoughts inside their head, so they decide to speak about it to everyone. A lot of the staff is VERY rude, because since they tend to work with more problem students, they think that they should talk like that to everyne. For simple and ridiculous issues, they give out large punishments. Overall I do not think that KJH is a good school to send one's child to.”

“My review may be slanted because i am a science teacher at KJH. Our school is probably leaning toward a more traditional style of education than many other schools. We have a strong school spirit and pride in our school. Students are expected to work hard and learn a lot! Our kids are terrific!Our PTSA is very supportive of staff and students - they are renowned for the best faculty lunches ever! Our building will soon be in the throes of construction, with the first phase being a Science/Special Ed/Art building. A new Science Club is doing Science Olympics and Robotics this year. Our music program is one of the best in the state, if not the country.Finally, we now have stable leadership! I love teaching here! Of course, there's always room for improvement. I would like to see more community and parent outreach and involvement in the classroom.”

“The school is in a good area, but I found the teachers and staff were not too understanding at times and the social atmosphere of the school caused me to remove my child to homeschool.”

“As with all schools, there are high and low points. There are some dedicated teaches and creative teachers that make children eager to learn. There are also those, unfortunately, who don't seem to know their stuff. The high cap humanities department has been strong, in our viewpoint. We have had two children go through it. The math curriculum does not do a good job of preparing our children for the future, unfortunately. There are some fine math teachers, but their hands are tied by the curriculum choice. PE is a 'safe place to be'. That's nice. There are enough extracurricular activities. The music program is strong. I think science is the weakest category. I don't know if it's the curriculum or the teachers.”

“The teachers are 'mean' and they have very impolite attitudes. If I were you I would never send my child to a school like Kenmore Jr. High.”

“as a student previously at this school, and now at a new residence and school, I would just like to tell parents looking into junior highs that this is an great school. extracurricular sports are wonderful, and students that are involved do better in school. due to the fact that I didnt know I was moving, I did not participate in all sports, all though I did attend them and admire the dedication that athletes and coaches put in to these sports with practices and games. academics at this school are also wonderful. I learned a substantial amount of facts and skills while attending KJH and owe that to the wonderful staff and administrators at KJH. Thanks to mrs.osborne, mrs.urrutia, mr.guy especially! sincerely, katie sloss”
