John F Kennedy Middle School

It has been a fair to good experience. We like that it is in the neighborhood and she doesn't need to depend on being bussed.

Wow. What a ride it was. Let me lay down MULTIPLE experiences I am having here currently or have had here previously:*A student — who is of the African American race, please ensure that you remember this — play fought with another African American student, and the both of them were almost formalled, a term meaning to be suspended from school for 60 days. Now, let's take a look at the experiences of the Caucasian students. Two Caucasian boys had play fought, and they received mere lunch detention. *Another student of the African American race had violated the dress code due to wearing crocs, and was given in-school suspension for 3 days. However, another Caucasian student did this and was only given a warning and provided different shoes to change into. Seeing any patterns yet? *One of the last significant race-related events I can recall at the moment is when an African American girl and a Caucasian girl had worn V-neck shirts. The African American girl had been given a stern talking to, whilst the Caucasian girl had not an eye bat her way. How odd, don't you think? It may also be important to note that the Caucasian girl wore V-necks more than any other shirts, so the excuse of "Oh, they didn't see it!" cannot be used in a valid sense. *In a science project, we were instructed to swab out areas of the school and allow it to grow on an enclosed beet. One group selected the cafeteria vents to swab. Days later, after executing this process, the group went over to examine their beet and found that, unlike the other groups that simply grew mold, their beet had grown veins. Looking back upon this event, the fungus grown may have been rhodotus. *One Friday some years ago, a student was caught with a vape hiding in her bra. This led to a chain reaction of the teachers locating a number of between 13 to 16 vapes, all within a 6th grade homeroom of 25. It later came to my attention that there were even MORE students in this single homeroom with vapes, however they managed to hide them better than the others and hadn't gotten ratted out by a peer. There are MANY more events I could converse of, however I am nearly at the character limit and by reading the guidelines, I do not believe it to be possible to submit a second review. So, when choosing a school for your precious child to attend, I hope that you can choose wisely. God, I cannot wait to graduate.

I went here as a kid, Mrs. Vandi is amazing and she definitely don't play when it comes to education. Mr. Wiley the mathmetician is also awsome!

Stressful personal, racist , bad protocols......... No Thank you

My daughter has been physically assaulted 3x. She’s had teachers leave because they were assaulted. It’s not safe.
