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