Summary

John F. Kennedy School is an elementary school in Windsor, CT, serving 412 students in grades 3–5 as part of the Windsor School District. The school has earned a stable 2-star state rating for years, consistently ranking in the low-to-mid range among Connecticut elementary schools. While it's not a top performer academically, parents can count on consistency—JFK hasn't declined over the past decade, and it has several clear bright spots.

One of the school's biggest strengths is attendance. Only 9.7% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, far below the district's 14.3% and the state's 16.4%—a pattern that has held for years. JFK also shines in upper-grade reading and science: 5th-grade ELA proficiency reached 49.6%, well above the district average, and 5th-grade science hit 47.5%. Perhaps most encouraging, the school appears to add value over time. Students arrive in 3rd grade below district averages, but by 5th grade they're outperforming the district in ELA and science, and beating nearby Clover Street School (just 0.66 miles away) in most upper-grade subjects.

The challenges are equally clear. Third-grade readiness is a concern—only 36.8% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, below both district and state averages and well behind Clover Street's 49.1%. Fifth-grade math is the school's biggest weakness, with just 29.9% proficient in 2025–2026, a persistent pattern over four years. The contrast with STEM Magnet at Annie Fisher School is striking: that school serves a higher-poverty population yet posted 60.5% 5th-grade math proficiency. JFK also serves a lower-poverty population (45.6% free/reduced lunch) than nearly all nearby schools, which suggests room for improvement relative to its demographic profile. Finally, performance across student subgroups has been volatile from year to year, making it worth monitoring how supports for different groups hold up over time.
