My kids love this school they renovated the classrooms and made them very nice, they always try to involve the parents and we really love the family center.

I would like to mention my family and I have felt very welcomed by everyone in this school, even by other parent's since we have been assisting to make a way to read program (my 2yr old and I). We are new to this school but, I'm glad I enrolled my child here. Thank you John F Kennedy Elementary School.

As a parent of a previous student of John F. Kennedy i really enjoyed the small campus and the staff who helped my kid while in school. The office staff is very helpful when it comes to any questions or concerns i had. I also liked how it is a k-3 school.

We moved to JFK because we heard it offered a lot more then other schools my boys have attended. In the first year my kids have been involved in sports and activities and field trips. It's a way more inviting school allowing my family to be part of my children's education and accomplishments. We love JFK and in two years will be applying my youngest into kinder. Thank you to all the staff at JFK for treating us like family and being so welcoming.

This is a great school. I know the teachers work very hard to ensure the safety and educational needs of the children are their first priority. The children seem to be generally happy, learning, and well informed. In this world we live in it's good to know that the teachers take the time to explain the many dangers our children face everyday. The teachers also have the children think ahead to the furture so they know that they can become ANYTHING they want to be, even the president of the USA, male, female, black, white, hispanic, or any other race. So for that and many more reasons I am happy with this school.

My son has attended John F Kennedy since Kinder. But this last year as a second grader I was not please...There were many issues with my son and other kids being bullied and nothing was ever resolved. Principal didn't seem professional or role model material. Tried to hard to be the students friend rather then their mentor and role model. I also was not satisfied with the teachers. They were telling me that my son was failing and not meeting standards when I took him to private school and was given exams to see where he was at academically and they said that he was meeting and exceeding grade level...I don't understand it what happened to real teachers, role models and discipline. I do not reccommend this school and think that things should be revised there. This is the first year that everything isn't the way it should be the way a parent expects. Students not wearing uniform, cussing on campus, Bullying, Teasing, teachers not taking their role, and the principal trying to be the students friend instead of the ADULT. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL TO PARENTS WHO WANT THEIR CHILDREN TO GET AN EDUCATION AND BECOME RESPONSIBLE!
