John F. Kennedy Middle School

Please call the school office at 650.365.4611. Your daughter will be helped immediately. No student should be bullied and it will not be tolerated at Kennedy.

WORST SCHOOL! The principal is a joke! My daughter has been bullied twice by the same girl. I have had meetings with the principal and they will not do anything about it! I want to go to the media and I plan to post and hand out flyers to get a response from other parents. Don't these morons watch the NEWS?! Do they want to end up on the news? Terrible, terrible job! I don't know how the Principal sleeps at night!

I am so happy my son is now a Freshman and out of there. If I had to choose a middle school all over again, he certainly would not have gone there. They do call the cops for every little thing. Just ridiculous. Good ridden Mr. Sedar. Now they need to get rid of Ms. Vance. Some teachers just don't have the passion anymore. They are more interested in discipline then teaching.

The administration should ask the police to patrol this school continually. The liberal teachers are not at all qualified, and are protected the unions that are directly responsible for the dumbing down of our students. These liberal teachers fight the administration and support the students who believe anything goes. The teachers bend to a society that thinks that anything goes, and they think that they are supposed to support the students illegal behavior while slandering the administration. Change the name of the school because all of the students know the story of JFK's escapades, and are apparently using him as their role model

The teachers really care about the students but get no support from the administration. It's time for a change - from the top down.

I am not happy with this school. The principal and vice principal call the police on students EVERYday. The staff and administration are awful. "Waiting for Superman" begins here. The teachers are so overwhelmed they are not interested in teaching and helping.

Some teachers are overworked and discipline in some classes is marginal. Administration is not responsive.

hi so father is a teacher at Kennedy and this was my last year at Kennedy. Kennedy had so many different activities and so many choices for a kid. safety is not a problem at all, all kids of campus are always safe i have never heard of any safety issues in the many years my father has been there. it has classes for every level of students, the administration is amazing! each student develop a bound with a few staff members who can advocate for them!

My daughter graduates this year with honors from this school, we are so happy with the administration and teachers of the school and the family community center its great.
