Summary:
The Kingston Community School District in Michigan operates two schools - Kingston Elementary School and Kingston High School. The district is ranked 194 out of 613 districts in the state, earning a 3-star rating.
Kingston Elementary School stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, ranking in the top half of Michigan elementary schools over the past 3 years. The school maintains a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and has notably higher proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the state average, particularly in math for grades 3-4. However, both the elementary and high school face high chronic absenteeism rates of nearly 30%, significantly above the state average.
While Kingston High School has an 82.8% 4-year graduation rate and a 7.6% dropout rate, which are not drastically out of line with state averages, these metrics could still be improved through targeted interventions. Additionally, the high school spends less per student than the elementary school, which may contribute to the stronger academic results seen at the elementary level. Addressing attendance and ensuring equitable resource distribution could benefit the high school's performance.
