John F Kennedy School

Summary:

The school is part of the Ogdensburg City School District, which is ranked 456 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's higher spending per student, which has increased from $15,033 in 2019-2020 to $21,246 in 2022-2023, John F Kennedy School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in academic proficiency on the New York State Assessments for English Language Arts and Math. The school's proficiency rates range from 27.91% to 36.67% in ELA and 30.91% to 53.13% in Math, while the district and state averages are higher. Additionally, the school's performance is lower than the state averages for specific student groups, such as female students, male students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students.

When comparing John F Kennedy School to nearby schools, such as Madill School (within the same district) and Madrid-Waddington Elementary School (in a different district), Madill School generally outperforms John F Kennedy School in academic proficiency, while Madrid-Waddington Elementary School has a similar performance level. However, John F Kennedy School has a lower student-teacher ratio, which may present opportunities for the school to learn from and collaborate with its higher-performing peers to improve student outcomes.

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.
