This School’s Reviews
Niche Reviews
7/2/2024
I have loved attending this school. I take a lot of advanced track classes and we have incredible support in that area as well as for students who are struggling. While we are not in the wealthiest district, our teachers really do care.
5/3/2024
Overall I believe that I have had a very good experience at Kennedy. I feel very ready for college and have managed to get some college classes already completed. I do wish that there were more options for students leaning towards a non-academic based future.
9/21/2023
My best experience is going to competitions like Academic Declathon, being in the math club, and getting involved in general. My worst experience would be the fights that happen and sometimes the racial discrimination against the students of color.

Love Kennedy. So many clubs, activities and more.
6/21/2011
Kennedy is a good school but they lack an engineering program. Kennedy's partner school Jefferson has an amazing engineering program that offers a bunch of college credit. Kennedy needs to beef up there engineering program to get a better score from me.
