I feel like RFKCHS is on of the best schools to get in if you want to focus in your studies, I really feel like RFK is a great school that offers a lot of diversity on their clubs, activities and sports. Also, thanks for their partnerships with multiple colleges, you can get free courses that give you college credits apart from AP classes. In addition, teachers also give help if needed and will make your academic experience better. I'm really delighted with RFKCHS and the opportunities that they give students like me. Thanks RFK
