John F Kennedy Highschool like any high school is what you make of it. If you want to join clubs and be pushed in academics then they have programs that you can join. The teachers truly care about their students and stay after work just tudor one on one with them. If you want to focus your skills in math rather than in writing then they have a separate academic program just for that. It really is your oyster

The school environment isn't too bad. The teachers are generally nice. Most of the students are relatively independent and individualistic. The only gripe I have, as of now, is the school's reaction to situations. Some other things could be better, but with the new school year coming, I hope to see clear initiatives to strengthen their weaknesses.
1/28/2023
The teachers are pretty nice and willing to help the students learn what they need to know. The students are also nice and friendly. The food is moderate, nothing impressive.

My daughter loves her friends and enjoys school but it is really sad that the teachers and principal has not control over the students. So far parents went on campus fought kids, someone peppered sprayed. So many kids getting jumped and half the time students do not even go to the school. Not enough...

I have a sophomore in the PACE program, which we had heard is comparable to McClatchy's HISP program. After having a son start this school year as a freshman in HISP, I am sorely disappointed in the PACE program. Molecular biology at Kennedy is taught--if you can call it that--by a woman who should...

I'm a parent of two kids who have been in the JFK High School PACE program. I have been underwhelmed with the English, Science, and counseling at this school, but the social science classes have been good, and the music and Japanese classes have been great. Not the friendliest campus, but if your ki...

I would probably not recommend this highschool based on the fact that you're literally in prison. By saying that, I mean you literally have no freedom what so ever, instructors are really bad and kids behave inappropriately. This is coming from my own experience, coming from a small middle school an...
