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.

The school has lost its integrity due to the change in guidelines of enrollment. There are minimal offers on elective courses and too many restrictions on college courses offered. The school lacks space for the amount of students enrolled.

John F. Kennedy Middle College High School helps prepare students for college by allowing students to take college courses. These credits can transfer over to a four year university after high school.

I like how diversed JFK is and how the teachers really papare you for the college life.I love how the school is student focused from the clubs and student body.Something i would like to see is having more study rooms for students to collaborate in rather than it be for just avid.I also think that our Dance team deservers to be sports accredited.

This school is the best school in the district, perhaps even all of Inland Empire! The environment nurtures higher academics and provides pathway to 4 year university high school students. So happy that they offer 9th grade admissions now.

JFK is such an amazing school! They prepare you for so much and the environment is very open and friendly. They are now including 9th graders! This is overall an incredible school.

Seriously? I think I would delete the comment correcting the 10 "THREW" 12 grades. No one caught this on a SCHOOL's brag page? And this came from a member of the community? Wow! I know I'm embarrassed folks . . . Not just for the school and students, but for the state of California. Seriously!
