Kings Elementary School

Summary:

Kings Elementary School is a public K-8 school in Kings, Illinois, serving 86 students as part of the Kings Cons School District 144. While the school has consistently been ranked in the middle range of Illinois elementary schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, it stands out in several key areas.

Kings Elementary School outperforms the state average in several test score metrics, with 58.8% of students proficient or better in ELA and 45.1% in Math, compared to state averages of 41.2% and 28.4% respectively. The school also boasts an impressive 84.2% science proficiency rate, well above the state's 53.2%. However, the school's performance has declined over time, with its state ranking dropping from 488 out of 2,093 schools in 2013-2014 to 817 out of 2,077 schools in 2022-2023, and its star rating decreasing from 4 to 3 stars. Compared to nearby schools, Kings Elementary generally outperforms on test scores, especially in ELA and science, but its math proficiency lags behind some higher-performing schools like Creston Elementary and Eswood C C Grade School.

Another notable aspect of Kings Elementary School is its high spending per student, at $16,045 in 2022-2023, significantly more than the state average of around $13,000 per student. The school also has a very low student-teacher ratio of 7.2, much lower than the state average of around 15 students per teacher. However, the school has seen fluctuations in its chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 0% in 2018-2019 to 25.9% in 2017-2018, with the 2020-2021 rate of 3.6% being lower than the state average. The school's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 37.21% in 2022-2023, suggests that it may need to provide additional support and resources to its student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
