Summary

John F Kennedy School is an exceptional elementary school located in Great Neck, New York, serving 446 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the highly-ranked Great Neck Union Free School District, which is ranked 69 out of 874 school districts in the state.

John F Kennedy School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in New York, with impressive academic performance that often exceeds state and district averages. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are particularly strong, with 5th-grade students achieving 79.63% and 87.72% proficiency, respectively, compared to the state averages of 56.61% and 54.16%. The school's performance is especially noteworthy in Math, with proficiency rates consistently above 70% across all grade levels.

While John F Kennedy School's high funding and resources, with a per-student spending of around $40,000 and a low student-teacher ratio, likely contribute to its success, the school's performance is still impressive when compared to other well-resourced schools in the area. For example, nearby schools like Ps 94 David D Porter and Munsey Park Elementary School have even higher performance levels, ranking 22nd and 161st out of over 2,400 schools in the state, respectively.
