For academics, Kingston Intermediate is the clear standout in this data set. It is the only school here with reported MCAS results, and in 2025–2026 it outperformed the state in ELA (44.77% vs. 40.03%), Math (47.65% vs. 41.11%), and Science (46.00% vs. 40.98%). No reported grade or subject fell below the state average; the strongest were 3rd grade ELA (+10.22 points vs. state), 5th grade Math (+12.82), and 6th grade Math (+8.78). In 2024–2025, its Science proficiency was exceptionally high at 61.18% vs. the state’s 41.51%, though it fell to 46.00% in 2025–2026—still above state. Math improved year over year, while ELA slipped slightly. Its rank history is stable, around the 60th percentile with 3 stars each year. Kingston Elementary has no MCAS or rank history, likely because it serves K–2, so its academics cannot be compared from this data.
The two schools also differ on resources. Kingston Elementary has the higher per-student spending—$13,135 vs. $12,467—but also the higher student–teacher ratio, 16.8 vs. 15.0. Note that spending is from 2020–2021 while the ratio is from 2024–2025, so these are not same-year figures. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for both schools, so socioeconomic context is not available and should not be read as 0%. Overall, Kingston Intermediate is the academic standout, while Kingston Elementary stands out mainly for resource metrics; the district’s MCAS picture is effectively Kingston Intermediate’s picture.
