The Kingston City School District in New York consists of 10 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 721 out of 865 school districts in New York and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

A few schools stand out in the district. Robert R Graves School and E.R. Crosby Elementary School consistently perform above the district and state averages on English Language Arts and Math assessments, with 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger. Meanwhile, Ernest C. Myer School has shown improvement, moving from a 1-star to a 2-star rating.

Additionally, most schools in the district perform below the state average on standardized tests, with the exception of a few high-performing elementary schools. The district's economic challenges are also evident, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the schools.
