    Kennedy Charter Public School is truly an awesome place for both students and staff. It is nothing short of an honor to work for and serve the students of KCPS. Never have I been in an academic environment as nurturing and structured as the one we have worked tirelessly to both develop and maintain.

    I am a first grade teacher at Kennedy Charter School and I love it! We have a small number of children in our classrooms which allow a lot one-on-one time with the children. It also allows me to teach fun and elaborate lessons. The children really enjoy coming to school to learn new and exciting things! The students also love the brand new play ground that the school put in for them this year! Our location is very convenient too! So come in and visit us sometime!!! We also have a kindergarten class and plan to expand next year!

    As a teacher here I feel this school is a great place to be. The administration is open to suggestions and is supportive to all its staff members. Our population of students is unique making this job extremly rewarding!

    KCPS is great for all children. The administration and staff give 110% everyday to their students. This school is extremely committed to ensuring the success of all children!!

    Hello and I am a student at Kcps and I honestly have to say that this has been worst school I have been to. The foundation is flawed thus the school is flawed.

    I have visited this school on several ocassions to visit students. I work as a mentor in Mecklenburg Cabbarrus and Union county. this school tries to offer the best to the students. I've watched the way they relate to students while waiting for my mentee to come. You can see they care even when they are getting on them for their behavior.

    The quality of the programs is characteristic of a charter school serving a population of students who are struggling academically. It is not a traditional public school but one with smaller classes to help students achieve.

    Academic wise this school is not up to par. Every grade level is doing the same work. There is no music or art program but a basketball team that was out of control. There is hardly any parent involvement and the principal along the assistant are not professional at all. I would not recommend this school to anyone until they have done some serious leadership changes.

    This school is a very low-performance school. The principal does not interact with the student body well the school overall has failed tremendously. This school has several fights and the children are not being disciplined well at all. Not a good recommendation at all.

    I do not like this school. I was very dissapointed at the parents meeting. The principal as well as the assistant principal were very non professional. The school is failing and it is no suprise.
