Summary
Kings Junior High School in Kings Mills, OH, is a grades 7–8 school with 730 students in the Kings Local district, a competitive Cincinnati-area community where it ranks #107 of 1,046 Ohio middle/junior high schools — the 90th percentile with 4 stars, up from #174 the year before. That puts it in the top decile statewide and near the top locally, though behind Loveland Middle School (#54, 95th percentile, 5 stars) and Mason Middle School (#67, 94th, 5 stars), and closely trailing Liberty Junior School (#102, 90th, 5 stars).

Kings scores above the state average in every tested subject. Its relative strengths are Math 7, where 74.9% of students were proficient (state: 48.6%) — second locally only to Loveland — and Science 8 at 85.8% (state: 61.2%), just behind Mason, Liberty, and Loveland. English language arts and Math 8 are strong but rank fourth locally: ELA 7 at 81.2%, ELA 8 at 77.4%, and Math 8 at 71.8%, all trailing Loveland and Mason. Kings reports 100% proficiency on Algebra I and Geometry end-of-course exams, but several nearby schools also reach 100%, and the district's own rates are lower.
Chronic absenteeism is the clearest weakness at 15.5%, above the district's 15.1% and higher than Mason, Loveland, Liberty, and feeder Columbia Intermediate School (12.2%). The school ranks highly for how well it serves students with disabilities, Hispanic students, African American students, and female students (92nd–96th percentile), but low-income students rank 69th as free/reduced lunch has grown to 24.25%, and Asian students rank 28th. Resources are favorable: a 19.6 student-teacher ratio and $10,019 per-student spending.
