Summary

Kingsway Elementary School in Port Charlotte, FL, is a public school serving 579 students in grades PK-5, part of the Charlotte district, where about 55% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school has seen a notable decline in recent years, dropping to a 2-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year—its lowest point in a decade—making it the only elementary school in the district with this rating, while nearby schools like Sallie Jones Elementary School and Deep Creek Elementary School hold 3- or 4-star ratings.

The biggest concern for parents is Kingsway's performance in English Language Arts (ELA), where proficiency rates are significantly below the district average across all tested grades. For example, 3rd grade ELA proficiency is 42% compared to the district's 61%, and 4th grade is 41% versus 59%. Math scores also lag behind peers, with 4th grade math at 55%, while Deep Creek Elementary School and Meadow Park Elementary School achieve 79% and 77%, respectively. However, there is a bright spot: 5th grade science scores are a consistent strength, matching the district average at 54% and even outperforming it in prior years. Chronic absenteeism, while improved from a high of 34.8% to 25.2%, remains higher than at Sallie Jones Elementary School (20.4%) and Deep Creek Elementary School (21.7%).

Interestingly, Kingsway spends more per student ($14,414) than top-performing schools like Sallie Jones Elementary School ($13,857) and East Elementary School ($12,369), yet results don't match the investment. A stark comparison is with Neil Armstrong Elementary School, just 1.46 miles away, which serves a similar demographic but outperforms Kingsway in nearly every subject. This suggests school-specific factors like instructional quality or leadership may be at play. The school's recent volatility—such as 3rd grade math dropping from 47% to 40% then recovering to 66%—indicates potential for improvement with targeted intervention, but parents should weigh these challenges carefully.
