Summary

John F. Kennedy Elementary is a public elementary school in Dinuba, California, serving 511 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Dinuba Unified School District, which has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

John F. Kennedy Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower-than-average test scores, and struggles with certain student subgroups. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are around 40-50%, compared to the district's 50-55% and the state's 45-50%. Additionally, the school's Free and Reduced Lunch rates are very high, ranging from 81.98% to 92.64%, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Dinuba Unified School District, John F. Kennedy Elementary generally performs worse across various metrics, including test scores, chronic absenteeism, and subgroup performance. However, it's worth noting that the other Dinuba Unified schools also struggle, with most of them ranking in the bottom half or bottom third of California elementary schools. The school's high student-teacher ratio and fluctuating spending per student may also contribute to the challenges it faces in improving student outcomes.
