10/9/2024
For the most part, I had a perfect experience with Kennedy High School, I love the faculty team. They have a great support system for whatever a student would need. The only thing I think they need to approve is trying to give students more opportunities for service hours because it's definitely something all students should have experience with.
10/8/2024
The school itself has a very strong motif on making their students be the best they can. They are one of the only schools with an IB program as well as AP which makes them stand out more within the academic circle. The school overall is good for being a school, however I think it has its own flaws like the lack of community you can find within the staff.
2/14/2024
I think that this is a great school overall. There are many different AP classes and IB classes offered to help further your learning in this school. As far as the staff members and faculty, there are little to no issues. Everyone is very supportive of the students and and there are many great resources to help them. The only issue is the counseling. Although they are very helpful, there is not much support given to the students when needed.

I go to school here at the moment. Let me just tell you im overwhelmed. The adults actually dont care about mental health. They say they do but all they care about is money. The teachers are snobby , and always have something judgmental to say. They never actually listen to us. I dont like it here.
