Kings High School

Summary:

Kings High School is a public high school located in Kings Mills, Ohio, serving 1,435 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Kings Local School District, which is ranked 109 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kings High School consistently performs well academically, with significantly higher proficiency rates on Ohio state tests compared to the state average across subjects like American Government, American History, Biology, and English II. The school also maintains high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 93.9% to 96.8% over the past five years, well above the state average. While the student population is predominantly white, Kings High School has a relatively diverse student body, with significant percentages of Asian, Hispanic, and multi-racial students. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as Asian, African American, and Hispanic students, has been consistently strong, with high rankings and star ratings from SchoolDigger.

In comparison, the nearby Butler Technical Natural Science Center and Butler Technical Bioscience Center, which serve a different student population, have significantly higher percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. However, the significant rise in chronic absenteeism rates at Kings High School, from 7.9% to 23.0% over the past five years, is an area of concern that the school and district should closely monitor and address.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.

Impact of COVID-19 on Kings High School
