Summary

Kingston High School is a small public high school serving grades 7-12 in the Jasper School District in Arkansas. Despite its small size of just 100 students, the school has consistently performed at a high level, ranking as high as 6th out of 305 Arkansas high schools and earning 5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger in multiple years.

One key factor that sets Kingston High School apart is its exceptional test scores. The school consistently outperforms the Jasper School District and the state of Arkansas in standardized tests across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 50.9% of Kingston High School students were proficient or better in ATLAS/Reading, compared to just 35.4% for the Jasper School District and 35.3% for the state. Additionally, the school has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 2.3 to 9.2 over the past few years, which likely contributes to its strong academic performance.

Despite serving a relatively high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with 51.38% to 62.18% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Kingston High School is still able to outperform nearby schools like Green Forest High School, Jasper High School, and Huntsville High School. This suggests the school is effectively serving its student population and providing a high-quality education, even with limited resources.
