The school is part of the St. Cloud Public School District, which is ranked 349 out of 463 districts in Minnesota and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kennedy Community School stands out for its diverse student population, with 59.27% White, 24.12% African American, 10.7% Hispanic, and 5.43% two or more races.

Kennedy Community School also performs relatively well for certain student subgroups, such as its African American students and male students, compared to the state and district.

However, the school's statewide ranking has been declining over the years, from a high of 312 out of 840 Minnesota elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 492 out of 881 in 2023-2024.

While Kennedy Community School outperforms nearby charter schools like Success Academy Saint Cloud and Saint Cloud Math and Science Academy, the school faces challenges in maintaining its academic standing compared to other schools in the state.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
