Kingston K-14

The Kingston K-14 school district in Missouri consists of four schools: two elementary schools (Kingston Primary and Kingston Elementary), one middle school (Kingston Middle), and one high school (Kingston High). The district serves a predominantly white student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage across all schools.

Kingston Elementary stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently earning high state rankings and demonstrating stronger academic proficiency in subjects like Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Kingston Middle and Kingston High have lower proficiency rates, particularly in 8th-grade Mathematics, suggesting potential areas for improvement.

The district's high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 98.36% to 98.82%, indicate significant economic challenges faced by the community. Additionally, the racial makeup of the schools, with a predominance of white students, raises questions about equity and access to educational opportunities for students of color. The variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools may also point to differences in resource allocation that could impact the educational experiences of students.
