Kinsley-Offerle

Kinsley-Offerle has two schools serving Pre-K through grade 12: Kinsley-Offerle Elementary Pre-K–5 enrolls 128 students, and Kinsley Junior/Senior High School serves grades 6–12 with 135, for 263 students altogether. The clearest shared concern is science: in 2025–26, 29% of elementary students and 14% of high school students were proficient, compared with 38% statewide. That put the schools 10 and 25 percentage points below the state, respectively, making science the area’s most consistent weakness.

Elementary stands out in the All Grades results, leading the high school by 23 percentage points in ELA, 24 in math, and 15 in science. Elementary was also above state results in ELA and math—by 5 and 12 points—while the high school was below the state in all three subjects. Grade-level results show important exceptions: elementary math was 17 points above the state in grade 3 and 20 points above in grade 4, but 9 points below in grade 5; the high school’s grade 7 math was just above the state, 38.1% versus 37.8%. Because the schools serve different grades, the All Grades comparison is not a like-grade comparison.

Science proficiency fell from 2024–25 to 2025–26 at both schools: by 21 percentage points at elementary and 13 at the high school. Elementary ELA and math also declined by 3 and 4 points, while high school ELA edged up by 1 point; its gap with the state nevertheless widened. SchoolDigger’s rankings show longer-term declines: elementary went from the 80th percentile in 2023–24 to the 52nd in 2025–26, while the high school fell from the 62nd to the 19th percentile, despite a rebound from the 5th percentile in 2024–25. Other measures offer context: elementary’s student-teacher ratio was 11.3, compared with 9.2 at the high school, and chronic absenteeism was 16% versus 24%. The high school’s 2023–24 graduation rate was 91%, compared with 90% statewide, a positive outcome alongside its lower test proficiency.
