My best experience was when my 10th grade English teacher revived my love for writing after my last teacher made me feel like I shouldn't be at this level. Worst experience would be when I felt like I wasn't heard about questions I had about college applications and going through depression. I would hope the school will refer more students to go to therapy outside of school because some don't realize they need it until they talk to someone that knows what they are doing.

I was a quiet kid during my time at POBJFK. I felt comfortable in my smaller classes with specific teachers while other classes and teachers made me feel uncomfortable. I'd say it was a pretty typical high school experience for me.

Plainview old Beth page John f Kennedy is a very good school. You never have to worry about students being included with how diverse the environment is, additionally, there are tons of resources in sports, extracurriculars, and education. One downside might be the fact that it does get a little boring in Plainview. But at least you can ensure stability for your education.

I have an interesting perspective on JFK, as it became my first public school experience starting in 10th grade. This is surely not the best school on Long Island many teachers and staff members are uninspired (some I would even call unprofessional). There is a sense of apathy that seems to run thro...

This school is appalling. Of it's staff, there are a very select amount who are genuinely concerned with the education of their students. The atmosphere has changed from open and education-oriented to conservative and test-based. Education is no longer about learning at this school, it's about test...

This school is horrendous. There's a reason the students call it JFK, "jail for kids". The administration and teachers are a joke. I go to an ivy league school and will not give an ounce of credit for my achievements to any person associated with this poor excuse of a school. The teachers only care...
