With a commitment to excellence, Kennedy Middle School engages, encourages, and empowers students in challenging and creative learning opportunities while preparing them for their futures in high school and beyond.

The Kennedy Middle School Newcomer Academy serves students in grades 6-8 who are born outside the United States, have been in the United States school system for less than two years, and are identified as English Learners. This innovative program recognizes the diverse needs of students and their families while providing immersive core subject studies with grade level peers coupled with social and educational support. 

As a school consisting only of grades 6-8, Kennedy provides a haven for middle schoolers to learn in a safe environment and become comfortable with themselves as they transition from K-5.

Teachers and support staff at three Redwood City School District (RCSD) schools were recently honored for their hard work to support and care for students during the disruptions caused by COVID-19. The California PBIS Coalition honored Clifford School, Hoover Community School, and Kennedy Middle School. 

Our school's awards and recognitions. 

Ms. Le’s illustrative presentation featured research she did at the Stanford University Luthy Lab as part of the Ignited Summer Fellowship Program, as well as how she has integrated findings from Re-Inventing the Nation’s Urban Water Infrastructure (ReNUWIt) project into her Redwood City classroom. Ms. Le’s students used their math saavy for practical applications such as analyzing local and national water data, converting measurements, comparing prices, and creating graphs.
