JOHN F KENNEDY MEMORIAL HI SCHOOL

JOHN F KENNEDY MEMORIAL HI SCHOOL is a Title I public high school that is part of the North Bolivar Consolidated school district, located in MOUND BAYOU, MS with about 198 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 15 teachers, JOHN F KENNEDY MEMORIAL HI SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

John F. Kennedy Memorial High School is located in Mound Bayou, Mississippi, a town with a significant place in American history as one of the oldest all-Black municipalities in the United States. Serving the students of the North Bolivar Consolidated School District, the school functions as a focal point for the local community, emphasizing academic development and the preservation of its cultural heritage. Its location in the Mississippi Delta shapes its identity, as the school strives to provide educational opportunities and resources to students within a historically rural and underserved region.

As part of the North Bolivar Consolidated School District, the school operates with a commitment to preparing students for post-secondary success, whether through college enrollment or career readiness. While the school manages the challenges typical of Delta-region education, it remains dedicated to fostering a supportive learning environment.
