GreatSchools Rating
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.

A lot of academic options; poor overall culture. School activities and student organizations cater to the smaller group of very wealthy families, when most of the student body comes from middle class backgrounds that cannot always afford participation in expensive outings and such.

John F. Kennedy High School provided me with an amazing high school experience; not only education-wise but socially. Everywhere you looked, there was a friendly face (staff or students). The teaching staff at John F. Kennedy High School is elite; there was not a single teacher who didn't treat his/her students with the utmost respect. It was an environment filled with joy and happiness every single day.

This school was terrible. It’s too long for me to even type. Bullying goes on and the teachers do nothing about it and everyone is spoiled rich brats. The cliques are disgusting. The teachers don’t care about you and if you are failing or not. There’s plenty of more I could say too.
