John F. Kennedy has been the greatest support when it comes to arranging your classes. Due to the block schedule that we have I am able to complete my required classes and focus on the classes that feel important to me. Besides the class schedule the vast clubs you can apply yourself to as well as the diversity of students you can become friends with develops students into being well-rounded. Which is why I feel like a well rounded person due to the fact that I participated in various clubs and communicated with multiple ethnicities in order to get an understanding of different cultures.

Being at Kennedy for four years nothing has changed until now they are doing construction while school is in. Changing the classrooms moving teachers and students constantly it is irritating and hard to move around. Kennedy only cares about boys sports and has no real interest in girls sports they favor boys more than girls in the sense of sports. Some teachers are dedicated to their work and helping students while others could care less. I don't regret my time here but I definitely wish some things have changed.

This is a great school for those who want to learn!ProsThere are many opportunities and support available for those students who come from families with less time or money than is optimal to support their children's education.

The TEACHERS are the best! They go above and beyond for all their students. Even if that means giving up their lunches or coming in early morning to help them with something.
