This school is very clean but they charge you for book damage even if you didn't do it.

James Kieu: Never have i felt so accepted from a school. Coming from a school where the student body's main concern was in popularity and being invited to the next "Social Gathering", This school was a Haven for which we can enjoy what is to be the best four years of our lives. The students of JFK established a family where clicks do not exist. In other words it is not just the opportunity to acquire early college credits, but also a comfort zone that brings out ones potential to be better then the person they were yesterday. Graduating from this school I still have dreams of such an astounding school. everyone running around so exuberantly just makes your day. JFKMCHS is not just a school. It's a home in which it cares for all who is bright enough to make it his or her home.
