John F. Kennedy Middle School

Kennedy is a great school with thoughtful programs. Students enjoy projects from teachers. The school prepares students well for high school.

Your comment is quite out of family with the rest. Interested in specifics, if you don't mind. Personally, I'm not real passionate either way. Feel lucky to not have to deal with some of the more serious life issues other middle schoolers have to contend with...which I think speaks to being immersed in a good demographic where education is highly valued. Yet some specific things could certainly have been easily handled better then they were. The staff can also be strangely silent on certain issues, or respond in a generic non-committal fashion...which is quite puzzeling.

Kennedy has wonderful teachers, and while there are students that say that they can't "teach" I think the opposite. I enjoy the events going on in this school, especially KBDC. The village program is creative and every one has their own variety of teachers and teaching styles.

This school is awesome! The PE program challenges the students and keeps them fit. The teachers are top notch and also challenge the students to be at their fullest potential. This school is great!!!

Our 1st child is going to KMS and we are extremely pleased with the transition that she made from Elementary to Middle School, and how KMS staff and curriculum allowed her to make such a smooth transition. She will graduate this year and will be off to High School and we could not be more pleased with the experience from social, educational and emotional growth that she has gained.

I have two kids. One has gradulated from Kennedy middle and the other one is still in it. I love this school. It meets my expectation of a public school provides. My kids are very different from each other. I see my both kids transform from tiny little ones to big grown and strong kids. I do appreciate every day PE make them strong. One of the kids was loose ended in organizing his work, but with teacher's help, I dont need to worry about him. I am really happy that they all become self confident and healthy kids and this is a good school to prepare for Monta Vista high. Maybe it is the very beginning of the school philosophy to leave the kids to the school to make them independent. So after join Kennedy, I do not worry about them too much.

This school is very expertise in physical education and extracurricular activities involving such. The homework is DEFINITELY NOWHERE NEAR 3-5 HOURS. The only ones who could possible take that long are the procrastinators. I could finish my homework within half an hour. There are many opportunities for friends. The only problem with this school is the huge pressure and expectations of the school. Everyone expects you to have glamorous A's, even the parents, because that's what 90% of the students have. The teachers are OK, but it seems that all but two of the, what, 40? teachers of the school care more about the staff and their money than their students. Overall, this is a pretty environmentally OK school. Above average in smarts and grades, normal in teachers, below average on the caring of teachers about students.
