Summary:

The Kingston City School District consists of 10 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 761 out of 874 school districts in New York and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

A few schools stand out in the district. Robert R Graves School is the highest-performing elementary school, ranking 924 out of 2,445 and earning 3 out of 5 stars. It has significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to the district and state averages. E.R. Crosby Elementary School is another high-performing elementary school, ranking 1,025 out of 2,445 and earning 3 out of 5 stars. It also has strong proficiency rates, particularly in 4th grade Math. Ernest C. Myer School is the third-highest performer in the district, ranking 1,302 out of 2,445 and earning 2 out of 5 stars.

The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the highest and lowest-performing schools in the district, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address equity issues. The two middle schools, J. Watson Bailey and M. Clifford Miller, both perform poorly compared to state averages, with very low proficiency rates in 8th grade Math and English Language Arts. Additionally, the wide range in per-student spending, from $24,044 at George Washington School to $39,305 at Ernest C. Myer School, suggests potential inequities in resource distribution.
