The school is part of the Bridgewater-Raritan Regional School District, which is ranked 139 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.
John F. Kennedy Primary School's academic performance is mixed, with some areas where it outperforms the district and state averages, such as 3rd grade math proficiency, and other areas where it lags behind, like 4th grade ELA and math. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% is higher than the state average, which could be a concern. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 9.2 may allow for more individualized attention and support for students.

The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $9,400. Over the past few years, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 650 out of 1,338 elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 899 out of 1,342 in 2022-2023, indicating the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to these changes.
