School Overview

Granada Hills sits in the quieter, more suburban pocket of the San Fernando Valley, and Kennedy High reflects that neighborhood feel — a solid comprehensive high school where students can find their footing academically without the pressure-cooker intensity of some nearby schools. Math and science scores trend a bit stronger here, making it a decent fit for families with kids leaning toward STEM pathways. For parents looking for a large, well-rounded public high school in a part of LA that still has tree-lined streets and a genuine community feel, Kennedy is a reasonable and respected local choice.
