Summary

Kingston Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-6 in the Jasper School District in Arkansas, with 113 students and a student-teacher ratio of 9:1 for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from a high of 95th out of 492 Arkansas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to a low of 387th out of 495 in 2024-2025.

Kingston Elementary faces significant challenges, with a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.6% to 68.14% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the state average, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's test scores are generally below the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels, with only 24% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Reading, and 32% proficient in Mathematics in 2024-2025, compared to the state averages of 34.7% and 38.7%, respectively.

However, the school's 6th-grade performance stands out as an anomaly, with students outperforming the state and district averages in English Language Arts, Reading, and Mathematics in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may be doing something right in its upper-grade instruction. Comparing Kingston Elementary to nearby schools, such as Green Forest Elementary School and Jasper Elementary School, reveals that factors beyond just student demographics, such as instructional practices, school leadership, and resource allocation, may be contributing to the performance differences between these schools.
