Kingston City School District

Summary:

The Kingston City School District in New York consists of 10 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance and socioeconomic factors across the district, with some schools like Robert R. Graves School and E.R. Crosby Elementary School performing exceptionally well, while others like M. Clifford Miller Middle School and Ernest C. Myer School struggle with lower proficiency rates and declining performance over time.

The data reveals a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, with schools serving higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch generally performing worse than their more affluent counterparts. For example, John F. Kennedy School has a 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate of just 16%, compared to 57.41% at Robert R. Graves School. Additionally, Chambers School has the lowest student-teacher ratio in the district, which may contribute to its relatively strong performance.

Despite the overall challenges, the data also highlights some bright spots within the district. Robert R. Graves School and E.R. Crosby Elementary School stand out as high-performing schools, demonstrating that quality education is possible within the Kingston City School District. Addressing the disparities and challenges across the district will require a comprehensive approach to improve educational outcomes for all students.
