Summary:
The city of Kingsley, Iowa is home to two schools: Kingsley Elementary School and Kingsley-Pierson High School, both part of the Kingsley-Pierson Community School District. The data reveals that Kingsley-Pierson High School is a standout performer, consistently ranking among the top high schools in Iowa and outperforming the state on standardized test scores, particularly in English Language Arts.
Kingsley Elementary School also performs well, with strong test scores in several grade levels, especially in mathematics. However, its English Language Arts scores for 3rd grade are below the state average, which could be an area for improvement. Both schools have relatively low percentages of free and reduced lunch recipients, indicating a relatively affluent student population, and the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, which could be a factor in their academic success.
Overall, the data suggests that the Kingsley-Pierson school district is providing a high-quality education, particularly at the high school level. However, there may be opportunities to address the lower 3rd grade ELA scores at the elementary school. The racial diversity in both schools is limited, with the majority of students being White, which may be reflective of the overall demographics of the Kingsley community.
