Hi! So all the public middle schools in Arlington (with the exception of HB Woodlawn - lottery school) are large and will be noisy and a little disruptive/chaotic - I don’t think Kenmore is any worse.  I have friends w kids at all the schools and you’ll hear of bad behavior at all of them.  There are parents zoned for other schools who opted in to Kenmore ( not sure it is possible to opt in anymore bc of enrollment) bc they felt their kid wouldn’t deal well with the perceived social pressures at some of the other schools - but who knows? Again- I would suggest meeting with the principal and discussing your concerns.  My friend whose child has anxiety issues did just that (spoke w head of counseling etc) and felt much better and her child is having a good year so far.[/quote]

If in the past your child has had issues with conduct i would be careful with kenmore, I am currently enrolled as a 6th grader in this school and have had issues with other students in the past. I am a peaceful person who is not very confrontational or angry, but other students have tried to fight, rob, and vape with me. I do not indulge in any of these practices but i have had some sticky situations in the past, for example i went to the bathroom and a peer eating a lollipop in a public restroom challenged me to “philly slap boxing” in which you slap each other with one hand behind your head, safe to say i declined that offer”[/quote]
