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.

This school had a really bad reputation and it wasn't my first choice I really wanted to leave because of it's reputation but the more I stayed the more I realized it's a really good school if you use yours resources right what makes this school so great is it's programs and it's teachers the reason why this school had a bad reputation was because of its past students but in reality there's really bright and smart and talented students who go here and when you use your resources right and take advantage of it's opportunities it really does prepare you for college I think the ib diploma program makes this school great as it challenges its student's academicly I believe its extracurriculars are really great as well it encourages students to get more involved and it's so much fun such as clubs , programs and etc. As well as their wellness center and the recreational center is such a good plus as well.

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...
