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.

Over my years at Kennedy High School, there has been a lot of change with teachers and administration for the better. The opportunities and resources available for students are incredible.

My experience at Kennedy High School in Fergus Falls has been okay. It's a good school and most of the teachers are very nice. If you are a senior you are required to create a presentation on your plans for after high school and the other grades have activities every Monday in Ottertime. Ottertime is our 30 minute study hall everyday except for Mondays. We are also required to fill out grade sheets and can only leave our Ottertime teachers rooms if we are passing all of our classes. Overall, it is a pretty good school.

This school is overall very good. However, as a student who excels academically, it doesn't seem like there is as much opportunity for me. I love my teachers, and the community is very good. I suppose it lacks school spirit.
