Kingston Elementary School

Summary:

Kingston Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-6 in the Jasper School District in Arkansas. The school has 126 students and a student-teacher ratio of 10.2, indicating a relatively small class size.

While Kingston Elementary outperforms the Jasper School District and the state of Arkansas in several key academic areas, including Mathematics proficiency, it struggles in 5th grade English Language Arts. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.2 may contribute to its strong Mathematics performance, as smaller class sizes can allow for more individualized attention and support. However, despite spending more per student than the nearby Jasper Elementary School, Kingston Elementary's overall academic performance is mixed, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as curriculum, instruction, and student support, play a significant role in academic outcomes.

Interestingly, the Huntsville schools, which are in a different district, generally underperform Kingston Elementary across the board, despite having similar or higher student-teacher ratios and lower per-student spending. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing ratios are important in driving academic performance, and that Kingston Elementary may be employing effective strategies that could be worth exploring further.

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.
