Summary:
The 63630 zip code area is home to 4 schools that are part of the Kingston K-14 school district, which includes 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with low statewide rankings and generally below-average test scores, Kingston Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the area, with a 4-star rating and a statewide ranking in the top third of Missouri elementary schools.
The data reveals that all four schools in the district have high rates of free/reduced lunch, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. This raises concerns about equity and the need for targeted interventions to support these students. Additionally, the district faces issues with chronic absenteeism, which likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by the schools.
Despite the overall challenges, Kingston High School stands out with a strong 96.0% four-year graduation rate and a relatively low 2.4% dropout rate. The student-teacher ratios across the district are also relatively low, ranging from 11.0 at Kingston Primary to 13.7 at Kingston High School, suggesting a focus on small class sizes.
