The school's proficiency rates in Math and Reading on the MCA-III assessments are generally higher than the state and district averages, particularly in the upper grades (4th-6th). Kingsland Elementary's performance is especially strong in Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 55-65% in recent years, compared to the state average of around 45%. However, the school's performance on the MCA-III Science assessment is relatively weaker, with proficiency rates around 30-45%, compared to the state average of around 40%. Interestingly, Kingsland Elementary's female students and low socioeconomic status students perform particularly well, ranking in the top 25-30% of Minnesota elementary schools in these subgroups, while the school's male students and white students have a more average performance.

Kingsland Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.2 to 14.1 in recent years, which is lower than many of the nearby schools, such as Chatfield Elementary School and Grand Meadow Elementary.
