John F Kennedy High School

The office staff are rude and show respect to no one, not even Parents! The lady didn’t let my mother see my counselor for no reason. Most teachers were nice but some fail students without reason.

I loved going to Kennedy, it’s not as ghetto as people think it is, I felt safe and I for the most part the staff does care about all the students :)

School sucks on education and the students themselves, too many gang bangers, drama, teachers who don’t care, don’t take your kid here unless you want them to fail in life

I spent four years here at Kennedy. The school my dad went attended, my uncle’s attended, and Cuba Gooding Jr. attended.
The school had an equal amount of highs and lows.
For the most part I had great teachers. My economics teacher was amazing, and just one of those teachers that every student wants to have. The way he went about his teaching, actually made you want to learn. That is a good teacher. Sadly I know he is no longer working there, so new students can’t benefit from him. But the students who did have him, remember him.
There were also teachers that nobody wanted, and for good reason. I remember one teacher, I won’t mention his name, who would keep his class six minutes after the bell rang, because he was in a bad mood. Anyone who attended Kennedy knew that you have seven minutes to get to each class. So he would give us literally a single minute to rush across campus if needed just so you won’t be tardy.
The campus is pretty big and while I was there they upgraded it a lot. Tearing down the old gym to build a new one. While I was at the school the campus looked very nice. Even when something was tagged on, they were quick to remove it.
The security there wasn’t that great. I remember seeing a lot of harassment of the students, for doing nothing. I do hope they have better security now.
The school is surrounded located right next to a shopping center that was the home of many hangouts, including Mighty Mouth. Everyone who comes to Kennedy knows about Mighty Mouth and the chili cheese fries.
Good and bad teachers and a good campus, though I didn’t feel this at the time, I really did enjoy my time at Kennedy. Writing this review is really bringing back memories, and I can’t believe it’s been ten years.

I graduated in 1987 and it felt good to be back and see my old stomping grounds it brought back some good memories. Loved seeing the new campus and my nephew playing on the varsity football team. Thanks J.F.K.

Eh. I went there in the 80s. School looks better after earthquake reconstruction. Stay away from the gangbangers, take the most challenging classes you can, and you’ll be ok.

Best school ever.
