Summary:

The Kingston K-14 school district in Missouri consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools (Kingston Elementary and Kingston Primary), 1 middle school (Kingston Middle), and 1 high school (Kingston High). The district serves a high-poverty student population, with all schools having 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Kingston Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong test scores across grades 3-5. In 2023-2024, it ranked 273 out of 906 Missouri elementary schools, placing it in the top 30% statewide.

While Kingston High has a strong 96% four-year graduation rate and a relatively low 2.4% dropout rate, the district faces significant challenges related to chronic absenteeism, which ranges from 18.5% to 18.5% across all schools. Additionally, there is a wide variation in academic performance, with some bright spots like 4th grade math at Kingston Elementary but also areas of concern, such as Algebra I proficiency at Kingston High.
