Summary

Kingston High School is a public grades 9–12 school serving 602 students in the small community of Kingston, Washington, within the North Kitsap School District. The school offers a smaller setting than most nearby comprehensive high schools, including North Kitsap High School, which enrolls 1,098 students, and several Edmonds-area schools with more than 1,400 students. Kingston ranks 63rd out of 396 Washington high schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 84th percentile and earning a four-star rating. Its statewide position has improved substantially, rising from the 47th percentile in 2021–2022.

Academically, Kingston is strongest in English Language Arts and science. In 2025–2026, 72% of students were proficient in ELA, compared with 52.81% statewide and 57.65% in the district. Science proficiency was 64.17%, above the 50.95% state rate and higher than at nearby Mountlake Terrace High School, Meadowdale High School, Edmonds Woodway High School, and Ingraham High School. Mathematics is the clearest challenge: 40.98% were proficient, below the district’s 50.17% and behind most major comparison schools, including Shorewood High School, at 60.50%.

Kingston’s 2024–2025 graduation rate was 90.2%, well above the 82.6% state average, while its 5.5% dropout rate was substantially below the state’s 9.8%. The graduation rate has dipped from 93.4% the previous year, so that trend merits monitoring. The school serves a more economically diverse population than North Kitsap High School, with 44.35% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch compared with 27.78% there. Kingston also shows especially strong effectiveness for students from low-income backgrounds and Hispanic students. Its main areas for families to investigate are mathematics, the recent graduation decline, and support for students receiving special education services.
