Summary:
The 48741 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Kingston Elementary School, which serves students in the Kingston Community School District. While the school's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels and subject areas outperforming the state average, it faces challenges such as a high chronic absenteeism rate and a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.
Kingston Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 523 out of 1,488 Michigan elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 629 out of 1,486 in 2023-2024. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math vary across grade levels, with 3rd and 4th graders outperforming the state average in Math, but 5th and 6th graders underperforming. Similarly, the school's Science proficiency rate outperforms the state, while its Social Studies proficiency rate falls short.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $14,920 and a student-teacher ratio of 18.7 to 1, the school faces significant challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 67.74%. These factors suggest the need for targeted support and resources to address the unique needs of the school's student population and improve overall academic outcomes.
