Kingston Elementary has a unique student population, with a significantly higher percentage of Native American students (29.68%) compared to surrounding schools, which range from 8.8% to 28.99% Native American students. The school has shown mixed academic performance, with a 4-star rating in 2020-2021 but a decline to a 2-star rating in 2022-2023. However, the school has performed well for certain student subgroups, ranking 37 out of 79 Oklahoma elementary schools for Native American students and 68 out of 506 for low socioeconomic status students in 2020-2021, both with 3-star ratings. Kingston Elementary's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics have generally been higher than the state average, with 3rd-grade students outperforming the state average in both subjects in 2022-2023.

While Kingston Elementary outperforms the state average in some areas, it lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Northwest Heights Elementary and Calera Elementary, in terms of overall ranking and rating. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (over 84%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Addressing these challenges through targeted support and resources could be crucial for improving student outcomes at Kingston Elementary.

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.
