Summary

John F Kennedy is an elementary school in Holbrook, MA that serves 669 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school's academic performance, as measured by MCAS Next Generation test scores, is generally below the state average across all grades and subjects. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (36.39%) and Mathematics (36.18%) were lower than the state averages of 41.53% and 40.74%, respectively.

John F Kennedy's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. The school performs relatively well for African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, ranking in the top 50-100 schools in the state for these subgroups. However, the school struggles with its White, Multi-racial, Special Education, and Disabled student populations, ranking in the bottom half or bottom third of the state. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 407th to 533rd out of over 900 Massachusetts elementary schools, and its SchoolDigger rating has also varied, ranging from 2 to 3 stars out of 5.

Compared to nearby schools, John F Kennedy's performance is mixed. It outperforms some schools like J.F. Kennedy Elementary and Brookfield in Randolph and Brockton, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Liberty and Highlands in Braintree. Addressing the disparities in subgroup performance and understanding the factors influencing the school's overall performance could be key focus areas for the school's leadership and the Holbrook district.
