Kenwood Academy
Kenwood Academy (formerly known as Kenwood High School) is a public 4–year high school located in the Hyde Park/Kenwood neighborhood on the south side of Chicago, Illinois, United States. Operated by the Chicago Public Schools district, Kenwood limits acceptance of high school students to those living in its attendance area: from Lake Michigan to Cottage Grove Avenue east to west, and 47th to the Midway Plaisance north to south. The school is bounded by E. Hyde Park Boulevard on the south, S. Lake Park Avenue on the east, S. Blackstone Avenue on the west, and E. 50th Street on the north. The school's football field, however, extends the campus north to E. 49th Street along S. Lake Park Avenue. In addition to being a local high school, Kenwood has a magnet program that accepts students entering into 7th grade who pass a rigorous admissions test. The magnet program accepts students citywide using a random lottery with a standing of 6 or higher in both reading and math. Kenwood was recognized as a ''School of Distinction'' for its academic achievement and a Model School by the International Center for Leadership in Education in 2004. Kenwood Academy High School was selected as one of America's best high schools by Newsweek and US & World News magazines.
==History==
The Chicago Public Schools (CPS) began the planning process to build Kenwood Academy, then called Kenwood High School, on November 3, 1965. With Northern big cities undergoing the final years of the baby boom, the CPS felt the need for a modernized new high school on Chicago's South Side. The high school was sited on 51st Street and Lake Park, near the Illinois Central Railroad, and was built in 1967–69. The doors of the school opened in September 1969. The address is 5015 S. Blackstone Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, 60615. Elizabeth M. Jochner, Kenwood's first principal, held the position for the first eighteen years from opening in 1969 until 1987. In recognition of the school's excellence and special programs, the Chicago Board of Education designated the school an "academy" in 1977. The school's academic center is now housed in the former Canter Middle School (formerly Louis Wirth Elementary School) building, which closed after the 2013–14 school year.〔(Chicago Sun-times: CPS plans to move Kenwood program into closed school )〕
