#2 Best Public High Schools in Cedar Rapids Area
John F. Kennedy High School
Freshman: So I'm class of 2025, meaning I've only had one year of high school. The classes I took my freshman year were as follows; LA 9, Biology, Marching Band, Symphonic Band, Advanced Algebra 2, Performance PE, AP Human Geography, Spanish 1, and Study Skills. That's a full schedule. On top of that I did Cross Country in the fall and Soccer in the spring. So yeah, I thrive when I'm busy. They have two wonderful counselors dedicated to just Freshman. The counselors visited my middle school and helped us all plan out our classes. Officer Tran is our school resource officer. He walks around the hallways and talks to people, very approachable. Also the band program is great! I'm not the best musician but I felt very much at home with marching band. The sports I've done were well organized and had very positive environments. Every classroom is different. Most of my teachers were very kind and supportive people. And I'm running out of words. So, basically everything was amazing except the food!... Read 337 reviews
