I'm currently a student in Robert F. Kennedy and honestly I can say it's a pretty good school. They have a lot of resources for kids and also care about kids mental health as it can affect their daily life. The best parts about rfk is learning everyday with the teachers and the worst part is that there's only one bathroom. I would like to see some food change, more food options or vending machines
