I have enjoyed my time with Kennedy. The culture and the sports are terrific! I don't think Admin always handles things the best which can be tough but they are receptive to feedback with is nice.
5/3/2024
Overall I believe that I have had a very good experience at Kennedy. I feel very ready for college and have managed to get some college classes already completed. I do wish that there were more options for students leaning towards a non-academic based future.

Kennedy Is a very diverse school with many different activities and clubs to join. While there are a few teachers that I find unfit to teach there, a majority of them are outstanding.

Love Kennedy. So many clubs, activities and more.

Kennedy is a good school but they lack an engineering program. Kennedy's partner school Jefferson has an amazing engineering program that offers a bunch of college credit. Kennedy needs to beef up there engineering program to get a better score from me.
