Great teachers actually
Very nice and understandable teachers they will help you as much as they can
It all depends on the student that goes here honestly

I graduated from Kennedy in 1973 went on to college well prepared. I earned a degree and became an elementary teacher for 25 years. I just retired. I remember the spirit and pride we had in our school. The majority of the teachers were caring and excellent. Jimmy Vasquez was our principal and later heard he became superintendent. I have fond memories of my 4 years there. I'm happy to see so many positive things going on there today as I checked out their website. Go Rockets!

kennedy is not a very good school for disabled children dyslexia and graphic dyslexia. my grandson has had this problem since elementary and testing was done they knew he had it but when he went to high school they did not read the records so they would not listen even the district . so they let him slipped though the cracks. very poor school.
