The best part of the school is how it feels private without fights and unnecessary drama. The worst part is only having 2 entrences to enter school and all the traffic. I would like more parking and more nutricial food options.

As a choir student of Robert F Kennedy who has attended for almost 4 years, this school's choir program has been fairly challenging, but very engaging. Although it is a music class, it still uses and meets all academic requirements. The worst parts are that it can be very stressful and can make you prioritize the program over regular academics. On the other hand, the good parts are how entertaining it can be. Something I would like to see a change in is being better organized.
