John F Kennedy School

John F. Kennedy School earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — an Exceptional rating that places it at the top tier of public education in New York. The school ranks #37 out of 4,739 public schools statewide and holds the top spot among all seven public schools in West Babylon, standing apart from every other district elementary.

Serving 333 students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade, Kennedy maintains a student-teacher ratio of 11.1 to 1. That small-class environment shows in the numbers. The school's growth score reaches 9.8 out of 10, signaling that students here make measurable academic gains year over year — not just those who arrive ahead of grade level.

Academic performance scores 7.8 out of 10, a solid baseline that, paired with elite growth, suggests the school consistently moves students forward regardless of where they start. Among New York's 2,549 public elementary schools, Kennedy ranks 31st. For families in West Babylon comparing options, that combination of high achievement and strong growth is difficult to find in a neighborhood public school.

The 333-student enrollment means classes stay small and teachers stay accessible through the foundational PK–5 years.
