Summary:

The area list includes one school, Kindle Education Public Charter School, a middle school serving Grades 6–8 with 87 students, so there are no other local schools here to compare it with. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 21.7, and its chronic absenteeism rate was 20%, compared with 14% statewide. The clearest academic concern is mathematics: in 2025–2026, results were below the state in all three grades, with the largest gap in Grade 8.

Kindle Education Public Charter School’s strongest grade-level comparison was Grade 7 ELA, at 58% proficient versus 56% statewide, or 2 points higher. Its weakest was Grade 8 mathematics: 9% versus 23%, or 13 points lower. Across Grades 6–8, the ELA average was 52% at Kindle and 53% statewide, while mathematics averaged 22% versus 34%, a 12-point shortfall. Algebra I results tell different stories by category: End of Course proficiency was 64%, 24 points above the state’s 40%, while Grade 8 Algebra I was 63%, 12 points below the state’s 75%.

Results improved over time in the grades reported in both years, especially in ELA. For Grades 6 and 7 combined, Kindle’s ELA average rose from 46% in 2024–2025 to 54% in 2025–2026, an 8-point gain; the state average fell by 3 points, and Kindle shifted from 10 points below to 1 point above the state. Mathematics also improved in those grades, gaining 7 points on average, but remained 11 points below the state. SchoolDigger’s reported percentile rose from 32nd to 43rd, and its rank improved from 514th of 752 schools to 420th of 743. As context, 64% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. The list contains no peer schools, and the data does not include test-taker counts or uncertainty estimates.
