School OverviewKenilworth Science and Technology Charter
School is more than just a middle school. In
just a few short years, Kenilworth has been
transformed from a failed public school to
one of Baton Rouge’s most innovative and
successful open-enrollment charter schools.
An academic focus on STEM (science,
technology, engineering and mathematics)
studies, a well-trained faculty and staff and
a philosophy that all students can learn have
made Kenilworth the school of choice for
Baton Rouge parents.
Our increasingly technical workplaces require a highly trained
workforce, and that STEM training has to star t with our schools.
Kenilworth STEM program gets students excited about science,
technology, engineering and math so those students can have
success in high school, college and tomorrow’s workplace.

Safe, Friendly School Environment
Since 2009, Kenilworth has motivated students to strive for academic success through a variety of classes and programs. Even
though Kenilworth is an open-enrollment school, it routinely ranks among the best in Louisiana in regional and state science fairs.
Students can have fun and learn through the school’s robotics club and competitions, and Kenilworth offers magnet classes to
top students to ensure they are being challenged.
Science Fairs, Robotics and Magnet Classes
It’s never too early to get students excited
about STEM! Kenilworth gives its
students a true college laboratory
experience by partnering with universities
in the Baton Rouge area. The SRM
program even led to one of our students’
receiving the grand award at an
international science fair. Jalen Scott
was the only student in the United
States invited to the Golden Climate
competition in Kenya.
