Summary:
The Kingston K-14 school district in Missouri consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of standout and underperforming schools in the district, with Kingston Elementary consistently ranking in the top 25% of Missouri elementary schools and showing strong academic performance, particularly in math and science. In contrast, the other schools in the district generally lag behind state averages in test scores, with the high school showing improvement in its state ranking over the past 3 years.
A key concern across the district is the extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 98.36% to 98.82%, indicating a high-poverty student population. This may present unique challenges and require targeted support. Additionally, all schools in the district have a high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.5%, significantly above the state average, which could be contributing to the lower academic performance.
The variation in spending per student, from $9,872 at Kingston High to $12,309 at Kingston Primary, suggests a potential imbalance in resource allocation that could be impacting student outcomes. Overall, the data highlights both areas of strength and areas for improvement within the Kingston K-14 school district.
