Summary

John F Kennedy Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Deer Park Union Free School District in New York, with an enrollment of 839 students.

While the school's test scores in English Language Arts and Math are generally on par with or slightly above the district average, they fall below the New York state average. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from a high of #505 out of 2,386 New York elementary schools in 2016-2017 to #1291 out of 2,445 in 2024-2025. However, when compared to other nearby schools in the Deer Park and North Babylon Union Free School Districts, John F Kennedy Intermediate School generally performs better on test scores and has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

The school's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups. While African American and English Language Learner students perform relatively well, ranking in the top half of New York elementary schools, Asian students and students with special needs lag behind their peers, ranking in the bottom half. Despite the significant increase in spending per student, from $17,783 in 2020-2021 to $30,533 in 2023-2024, the school's student-teacher ratio has remained relatively stable, suggesting that the additional funding may be directed towards other resources or programs rather than reducing class sizes.
