Summary

Kennedy Elementary School is a K-4 public school in Livonia, MI, serving 472 students as part of the highly regarded Livonia Public Schools School District, which holds a 4-star rating statewide.

Kennedy is a strong, consistent performer, ranking in the 85th percentile of Michigan elementary schools with a 4-star rating. Its standout feature is mathematics: 3rd-grade math proficiency (62.2%) and 4th-grade math proficiency (62.9%) significantly outpace both district and state averages. English Language Arts scores are also solid, hovering near district averages and well above state levels. Perhaps most impressive is Kennedy's effectiveness with students from low-income backgrounds—the school ranks in the 90th percentile statewide for this group, earning a 5-star rating. This suggests the school is particularly skilled at closing achievement gaps. While Kennedy sits in the middle tier of its immediate neighbors—Hoover Elementary School (93rd percentile) and Buchanan Elementary School (90th percentile) rank higher—it outperforms nearby schools with similar or higher poverty rates, like Cleveland Elementary School and Rosedale Elementary. The school has shown a clear upward trajectory over the past decade, rebounding from a 2-star rating in 2015-2016 to maintain 4 stars for eight consecutive years.

The main challenge facing Kennedy is chronic absenteeism. At 22.0%, the rate is near the district average (23.1%) but nearly double that of Hoover (9.0%) and significantly higher than Buchanan (13.6%) and Grant Elementary School (15.3%). This means a substantial portion of students are missing enough school to potentially disrupt learning continuity. Kennedy's per-student spending ($14,686) is in line with the district average, and its student-teacher ratio of 15.5 is moderate—suggesting its strong academic results are achieved without a resource advantage. If the school can improve attendance, it has the instructional foundation to potentially join the top tier of Livonia elementary schools.
