Summary:
The Winooski Incorporated School District in Vermont has only one elementary school, J.F. Kennedy Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 421 students. Based on the available data, J.F. Kennedy Elementary School does not appear to be a standout performer, ranking 101 out of 137 Vermont elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science, is significantly below the state averages. For example, the 4th grade ELA proficiency rate is 52.17%, compared to the Vermont average of 61%, and the 4th grade Math proficiency rate is just 12.24%, compared to the state average of 34.25%. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 48.7%, which could be a contributing factor to the low academic performance.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $14,354, these resources do not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's low ranking within the Winooski Incorporated School District (66 out of 75) and its statewide ranking (101 out of 137 Vermont elementary schools) suggest that it is one of the lower-performing schools in the state. The high percentage of students (68.17%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which could also be a factor in the school's academic challenges.
