Summary:
The 72742 zip code area is home to two schools - Kingston Elementary School and Kingston High School, both part of the Jasper School District. While the elementary school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, the high school has consistently emerged as a standout, ranking among the top 6 high schools in Arkansas.
Kingston High School boasts exceptional performance, particularly in English Language Arts, with 64.7% proficiency in 10th grade and 36.7% across all grades. However, the school's relatively lower performance in Math, especially in Algebra and Geometry, is an area that may require further attention. In contrast, Kingston Elementary School has struggled to maintain consistent high rankings, despite strong performance in Math with 66.6% proficiency across all grades.
The significant difference in student-teacher ratios between the elementary school (10.2) and the high school (3.4) may contribute to the high school's ability to provide more individualized attention and support to its students. Additionally, the high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at both schools suggests the need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on student performance and the availability of resources to support these students.
