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 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.

Kennedy is a very diverse school which I like and appreciate and also the campus is really nice. But I dislike some of the teachers and how they approach their students and their styles of teaching without truly always considering the outcome on the students.

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.

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...

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...
