Summary

John F. Kennedy School is an elementary school located in Windsor, Connecticut, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 388 students. The school is part of the Windsor School District, which is ranked 116 out of 156 districts in the state.

Academically, John F. Kennedy School performs below the state and district averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics around 40-47% compared to the state averages of 46.9-52.5%. The school's performance has been consistently in the bottom third of Connecticut elementary schools over the past 10 years. However, the school's Hispanic students perform relatively well, ranking in the top 30-40 out of 108-132 Connecticut elementary schools in recent years.

Other key factors at John F. Kennedy School include high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 9.3% to 20.2%, and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 41.76% to 48.11%. While the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, these factors do not appear to be translating into stronger academic results. Addressing the underlying issues that contribute to the school's performance gaps may be crucial for improving student outcomes.
