Best Public Schools in Kingston, GA

Summary:

The city of Kingston, Georgia has only one public school serving grades PK-5: Kingston Elementary School. This school is located within the Bartow County school district, which is ranked 74th out of 203 districts in the state. Kingston Elementary has an enrollment of 526 students and a student-teacher ratio of 12.8 to 1.

While Kingston Elementary has relatively low student-teacher ratios, the school's academic performance is a concern. Its test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently below the Bartow County and Georgia state averages across grades 3-5. For example, in 2023-2024, only 20.7% of 3rd graders at Kingston Elementary were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 36.6% in Bartow County and 38.4% statewide. The school's 5th grade science proficiency rate of 30.9% is also lower than the Bartow County (34.6%) and Georgia (41.7%) averages.

Another challenge facing Kingston Elementary is its high poverty rate, with 67.68% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $11,203, it appears the resources are not being effectively utilized to support student learning and achievement. Further analysis would be needed to understand how the school's funding is being allocated and identify opportunities to improve academic outcomes for its students.
