I had transferred to this school around my sophomore year. The faculty members and other administrators vary on communication but are overall amazing. They are strict on no drug use and are good at keeping the campus safe. The teachers are very welcoming at aiding their students.

Robert F. Kennedy High School is overall a very enjoyable school to attend for those seeking higher education. The schools offers numerous AP classes and college dual enrollment class, with the incentive of helping student with college. The school spirit is an added bonus with an emphasis on the supporting the sports teams.

I've had an okay experience at Robert F. Kennedy. One thing that has changed a lot throughout the years has been how the school spirit progressively decreases as the years go by. My first year was full of individuals who wanted to be involved in every aspect they could but after those seniors graduated the school spirit decreased.
