Hello,My name is Rhiannon Gonzales. I work with "Center For Living and Learning" in our Covid Outreach Department. I would like to thank 4 of John F. Kennedy High School students- SAVANNAH CUEVA, MELANIE MOLINA, RAFAEL PEREZ and ANDREA CHAVARRIA for all the wonderful help at the Justice March event on Sat. 03/19/23. Wish all of you much joy!

Great school if you want your children skilled in the arts of street combat , also as a bonus they will acquire drug habits and the art of hiding things from their parents don’t forget the administrative assistants who hate parents , if you want your kids to have an uphill battle and want to become a jr detective tossing bedrooms inspecting backpacks and hours of interrogations trying to figure out who sold them what then this is the school for you, or you can just send them to a private school good luck

This school is not the greatest choice for your student. One great counselor and a couple of good teachers do not make this a great school especially when the Principal does not put the needs of the students before whatever School started this year and one building had no air conditioning. I was assured that they were moving those classes into the air conditioning library but they did not - not even once. The senior grad day to Disneyland included our students riding on school buses with no air conditioning for over 3 hours and they were not allowed to take water on the bus. Inhumane and insane.I would recommend finding a different school

This school has been the 2nd choice for years as parents have tried to get their kids into highly ranked Granada Charter, but more parents and students are choosing JFK as GHCHS gets more and more crowded. At Kennedy, kids have a greater chance to stand out and make a difference. My older daughter went to Granada, was an awesome student, but was lost in the MASSIVE shuffle. My younger child got opportunities to excel and be recognized, and Dr. Chavez sets a great tone for campus culture.

Great school, helps all students no favoritism in any area. Most graduates continued their education at colleges and universities across the country.
