Summary:

The city of Cadet, Missouri is home to four schools that serve students from kindergarten through high school, all part of the Kingston K-14 school district. While the district as a whole faces challenges, with below-average test scores and high chronic absenteeism, one school stands out as a relative bright spot: Kingston Elementary.

Kingston Elementary boasts a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 203 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools, making it the highest-performing school in the district. In contrast, the other schools in the district, including Kingston High, Kingston Primary, and Kingston Middle, all have 2-star ratings and lower rankings. The district as a whole is ranked 211 out of 367 in Missouri and has a 2-star rating.

Despite the challenges faced by the district, there are some bright spots. Kingston High School boasts a 96% four-year graduation rate and a low 2.4% dropout rate. However, test scores across the district are generally lower than the state average, particularly in Algebra I and Government. The schools also face high rates of economic disadvantage, with all students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these issues and learning from the success of Kingston Elementary could be key to improving educational outcomes for students in the Cadet area.
