John F Kennedy High School Reviews
Rating 3.49 out of 5 368 reviews
During my time at Kennedy High School.The chance to work on cutting-edge projects and contribute to cutting-edge technologies has been the best part of my experience. I've loved working in a collaborative setting that encourages growth and innovation by allowing ideas to flow freely. The feeling of achievement one gets from finishing a difficult assignment sticks out as a highlight.But one significant obstacle has been the sporadic pressure brought on by demanding projects and close deadlines.
In the future, I hope to see a more accommodating attitude to project deadlines and a persistent focus on encouraging a positive school-life balance. This change could support both individual well-being and the project's overall performance by creating a more productive and sustainable learning environment in schools.

The academics for this school are good, the classes and courses to choose from are very good. You get a lot of opportunities to change your schedule if you don't like it. The only bad thing really about the school would be the kids in it. They are very disrespectful and there are so many fights. There have been a few times where cops have been called as well. I would like to see better disciplinary actions.
My best part as a student at Kennedy is probably my experience. With some of the best teachers, clubs, school events, and friends I gained on the way throughout the years I attended at Kennedy. But I also lost a couple of friends on the way to but I believe that shows growth. Coming to the worst parts was probably just having the days drag or just not having the full motivation to get up and go to school. I would like to see Kennedy become more academically better, and not having “fights” on the regular. Maybe a couple changes to the building it self to be more happy and comfortable. I want it to become what it used to be, but more diverse and better. I believe that there is room for change.
