Summary

Kennedy Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Livonia, Michigan, serving 468 students in grades K-4. It is part of the Livonia Public Schools School District, which is ranked 86 out of 613 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kennedy Elementary consistently ranks among the top 25% of Michigan elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 170-492 over the past 10 years. The school's performance on the M-Step (Michigan's standardized test) is notably higher than the state average, with 3rd and 4th-grade students scoring 10-20 percentage points above the state average in both English Language Arts and Math. Kennedy Elementary's performance is also above the district average, indicating that it is one of the stronger performing schools within the Livonia Public Schools system.

While Kennedy Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with a significant percentage of African American and low socioeconomic status students, the school's performance for these subgroups is particularly noteworthy, with these students ranking in the top 10-15% of their respective categories statewide. However, the school has experienced higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.8% to 30.8% over the past few years, which is an area of concern that the school should address.
