My experience was decent, but they were not very helpful with getting ready for college due to lack of exams. Sports were a great way to get involved with people and make new friends, the teacher were honestly amazing and all are very helpful with being honest about college and how college is actually going to go. Overall I enjoyed my time but I do wish they were more helpful about college rediness.

Overall, my experience in Kennedy High School has been good. I've made amazing friends and learned a lot about myself, I'm in the IB program and have been for all 4 years as Kennedy has the MYP program as well which I think is awesome for students who want to challenge themselves academically. There are almost many clubs such as MSP and NAHS. Though there is some times were I do not feel the best in out school because of safety or the lack of freedom, like how we can't outside during lunch which has made my school experience a little more depressing. But I don't regret it cause I do have good memories and meet really nice teachers.

If you're in IB you will have a better education than the others. Sports are bad with the exception of a few, unsafe, everything is below average.

I currently attend Kennedy as a Junior. This school would be way greater than it is if it weren't for the individual students themselves. Teachers here actually care about what they do, it's just that some students don't try. There are amazing things in this school like the IB programs, AP classes,...

JFK is a great school for kids to learn and grow as young people. This school has a number of programs that students can join like the healthcare professions, NJROTC, and a ton of International Baccalaureate classes! I would definitely send my child to this school. In a recent survey, students share...
