John F. Kennedy Elementary School

We chose this school and we love it because of:1. Small class size: attention and support can be given to all students. Activities are customized based on interest.2. Strong sense of community that supports an anti-bullying culture. Non-Catholic families are welcome and active in this community.3. Teachers applies a strong academic curriculum while keeping things fun to develop well-rounded students. Teachers are very supportive and reports challenging behaviors/incidents to parents right away.4. Facility is secure and locked at all times. A front desk staff unlocks the door and greets adults coming in. It also helps that the school is in a quiet neighborhood and not at a main street.

This school is horrible I had all my kids there kindergarten to 8 grade . Teachers are rude principals don’t know how to conduct themselves. They don’t have many kids in the class room my daughter would tell me the teacher would be on her phone texting while teaching the class . No help if your child is struggling with math at all on top of that the teaching is not teaching . I would not recommend this school to anyone keep on looking for a better school don’t waste your time here .

I would give this a zero if I could. The years that I had here were beyond depressing. My friends and I were bullied and discriminated by both students and staff members. The teachers barely teach anything. My spanish class teacher was on his phone the entire time in every class. The bible teacher discriminated student and doesn't believe my work is originial because "the english was too professional" compared to my accent. We weren't even allowed to stand on the sidewalk to wait to get picked up after class.I can go on. I'm so surprised thi school still operates.There are way better schools in SF to choose from if you're an international student!
