Grades PK-3:

In 2009, in consideration of a decline in enrollment and a reduced budget, the school district closed John F. Kennedy Elementary School. [1] As of 2014, Newport Public Schools sends preschool students to leased classrooms at Kennedy due to overpopulation at Claiborne Pell School in Newport. [2] As of 2018, Middletown Schools plans to reoccupy the building, so the arrangement with Newport will expire in 2021. [3] In addition, John F. Kennedy Head Start operates out of the facility. [4]
