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.

I recently graduated in 2023 and I had the best experience at EMK. I love their CNA program, track and field and their cheer team. Great school.

My experience was quite memorable. I had a great time getting to know people and had the opportunity to learn about various materials, particularly in the field of health. I learned more than I initially expected, and this school ignited my passion for the health field. However, I had some concerns, such as the cleanliness, and I found the school to be too small for high school students.

The school is great for those who wanna go into the field of medicine and nursing, the teachers are great and helpful, the peers are all very friendly and helpful. I would truly recommend you to join the Edward M. Kennedy Academy for Health Careers but remember that this is a charter school, hence, you need to remember and keep an eye on the application's deadline.
