GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

as a student of this school, it's nothing above ok. some of the teachers are horrible but some are the best teachers you will ever have. The rules for the most part are pretty reasonable. the people here are nice and ok. I wouldn't really say everyone here is a "Good kid" but everyone is kind for the most part. They do a good job of keeping the school clean ( most of the time). there are a few fights from time to time but not too often. There is a lot of hazing and teasing between friends but I have not seen any real "Bullying". This school really is a roller coaster but is good for the most part.

Most of the teachers are nice the rules are not that strict if you follow the rules you should be good most of the teachers are pretty flexible the only downside in my opinion is the food but its not that bad the counselors have helped me plenty of times and the higher ups are really nice

I was accused of abusing pai...

Hence, the Kennedy test scores are skewed and look good. The school has 1000 + kids ... hard to make teams as gifted kids are...

I am currently a student at Kennedy. (However, I'm in the PI+ program, so my opinion applies to about 80 people in the entire school...) The teachers this program are involved, helpful, and persistent (in making sure that we understand). The coursework is challenging (especially physics D:), but not...
