There are a variety of factors that influence to what degree the Kennedy School admissions committee takes your GRE score into consideration. First of all, consider which program you'll be applying to at the Kennedy School. For the mid-career programs, the quantity and quality of work experience take precedent over GRE scores. For the quantitatively rigorous MPA/ID program, a quantitative GRE score of about 750 is expected. For students in the MPP program, the average quantitative GRE score is around 700, and the average verbal GRE score is around 630-650. It's important to note that even for the MPP program, GRE scores generally become less important if you have more years of work experience.

To give you one example, I was accepted to the MPP program, and I have GRE scores of 650 verbal, 750 quantitative, and 5.5 Analytical Writing.

This site from the Franklin & Marshall College government department gives a rundown of many public policy programs. It also says that a GRE quantitative score of 700 is "expected" at Harvard's Kennedy School and Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School.
