So glad we moved to the JFK area! This school is top notch!!!! My children love going to school every day and they come home happy. What more could I ask for? Teachers are positive and seem to really love their students. Lots of things going on for my kids to get involved in and the PTO is awesome. Kudos to JFK!

My daughter loves going every day. There is a lot of diversity and talent in this school. Miss Myers is a great principal. There are lots of events outside the school day too to enhance the school/home continuum and the idea that learning happens at all times of the day.

We love JFK. Ms.Myers is doing a fantastic job as the Principals. All the teaching and non teaching staff are simply great. The school has a great after school programs and musical which is amazing each year.

My daughter has been attending this school for the past yr and a half. We moved to Wayne when she started first grade. I am pulling her from jfk and putting her into ihm next year. I have had nothing but problems since she started. She has been kicked and punched down the slide by peers. I have been at the principals office multiple times bc problems with girls being mean. To top off the social issues we are encountering, I also have academic problems. I tried to get a tutor through the school, no help. I had to seek out my own tutor to find out the teacher will not work with the tutor or even provide information to the tutor about her school work. My daughter is skipping problems on worksheets and making simple mistakes. I have acquired a tutor and reached out to the teacher and nothing has changed. They dont care here. Bullying is a big issue too.
