This school is a miserable excuse of a school. It's surrounded and covered in trash. They neglect the needs of special needs students, disregard student safety by allowing bullying resulting in injury without reporting it to parents, did not follow protocol and the law with establishing an IEP, did not communicate a bomb threat to parents upon drop off. I'm not sure how they are even still allowed to operate. I got my eldest transfered due to safety and negligence. Tried to give them another chance 5 years later with my second and third born and they got worse. I had to get them a safety transfer as well. Fight hard to transfer your students out of this school if you are zoned here. Take advantage of open enrollment and spare your kids. They deserve better. Even the only decent teachers I met here transferred out to work at other schools. All bad.

John F. Kennedy High school is a great school for any student! It has extracurricular activities that will give a boost to your child's creative side, and the students will actually like it, because it's fun! Although it isn't the greatest school in the universes, it has a lot to offer. From free tutoring programs, to a study program so that those reporte cards will be great grades... Great just like our school, so hey folks, JFK is the right school for you. -Wanda Gonzalez 9th grader at JFK High

I think they need to beef up how they run there school and be more strict and have more leadership in my opinion.
