Summary:
The Kingston K-14 school district in Missouri is home to a single public high school, Kingston High, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 248 students. While the district as a whole is ranked 211 out of 367 in the state and rated 2 stars out of 5, Kingston High has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, ranking between 261 and 253 out of Missouri high schools.
Kingston High has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 96.0%, but its academic performance on standardized tests is a concern, with proficiency rates significantly lower than the state averages in Algebra I, Government, and Biology I. The school's high percentage of students (100%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, which may contribute to these academic challenges. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 18.5% is relatively high, potentially impacting student learning.
Despite these performance challenges, Kingston High's low dropout rate of 2.4% is a positive indicator. To address the academic performance issues, the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support aimed at improving proficiency in core subject areas and addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population. Strategies to reduce chronic absenteeism could also be a focus area for improvement.
