John F Kennedy Intermediate School

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 830 students enrolled.

The school has shown a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 505 out of 2,386 New York elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 1,462 out of 2,445 in 2023-2024. However, its performance on state assessments is generally on par with or slightly above the district average, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math ranging from 36-53% across grades 3-5. The school has a diverse student population, with significant percentages of African American (22%), Hispanic (36%), and White (33%) students, and a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students (43.73% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch).

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $19,690 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and the spending levels of some nearby schools like Parliament Place School ($11,251 per student) and Woods Road Elementary School ($11,626 per student), its academic outcomes are only moderately strong compared to the state and district averages. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its spending priorities and instructional practices to better support the academic growth and achievement of all its students.

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.
